Species: browni BROOM, 1906
Etymology:

Holotype: SAM-PK 5871

Locality: Aliwal North, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.

Horizon: Burgersdorp Formation, Tarkastad Subgroup.

Biostratigraphy: Cynognathus zone.

Age: Spathian Stage, uppermost Scythian Epoch to Anisian Stage, lowermost Mid Triassic Epoch, Early to Middle Triassic.

Material: Fragmentary dentary.

Note: Broom (1906) placed Palacrodon in Rhynchocephalia; Malan (1963) disagreed and suggested it was either a lizard or procolophonid. Gow (1999) synonymized Fremouwsaurus geludens (Gow, 1992) with Palacrodon. Kligman et al. (2018) place it within Diapsida.

Referred material:

GOW, 1999

BP/1/5672: Right maxillary fragment bearing 4 acrodont teeth and a dentary fragment bearing 5. May belong to the type.

= Fremouwsaurus geludens GOW, 1992
