The Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone is a tetrapod assemblage zone or biozone which correlates to the middle Abrahamskraal Formation, Adelaide Subgroup of the Beaufort Group, a fossiliferous and geologically important geological Group of the Karoo Supergroup in South Africa. The thickest outcrops, reaching approximately 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), occur from Merweville and Leeu-Gamka in its southernmost exposures, from Sutherland through to Beaufort West where outcrops start to only be found in the south-east, north of Oudshoorn and Willowmore, reaching up to areas south of Graaff-Reinet. Its northernmost exposures occur around the towns Fraserburg and Victoria West. The Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone is the second biozone of the Beaufort Group.

  • De Tapinocephalus-faunazone is een onderdeel van de Beaufortgroep met fossielen uit het Midden-Perm. In de tweede helft van het Midden-Perm, het Capitanien, waren de dinocephaliërs de dominante groep therapsiden en de Tapinocephalus-faunazone levert de grootste diversiteit van deze groep. Grote carnivore vormen zoals Anteosaurus zijn de grootste roofdieren en waren tot vijf meter lang. De grootste herbivoren zijn dinocephaliërs zoals Jonkeria, Moschops, , Styracocephalus, Tapinocephalus en Titanosuchus die een gewicht van twee ton bereiken. De dinocephaliërs zijn echter niet de enige therapsiden die bekend zijn uit de Tapinocephalus-faunazone. Met meer dan veertig fossielen is Diictodon de algemeenste soort. Andere herbivoren uit deze zone zijn de dicynodonten , en Robertia, de dromasauri (nl)
