Relating to or belonging to the family or group of edaphosaurs.
From edaphosaur + -id (belonging to). The suffix -id creates a classification term indicating membership in the edaphosaur group.
Paleontologists classify ancient creatures this way—edaphosaurid fossils show us that burrowing was such a successful survival strategy that different reptile groups independently evolved to live underground!
