Cochleosaurinae
Cochleosauridae is a family of edopoid temnospondyl amphibians, among the most basal of temnospondyls. Most members of this family are known from the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and early Permian (Cisuralian) of Europe and North America, though ''Nigerpeton'' is known from the Late Permian (Lopingian) of Niger in North Africa.

Cochleosaurus
''Cochleosaurus'' (“spoon lizard”, from the Latin ''cochlear'' "spoon" and Greek ''sauros'' “lizard”) were medium-sized edopoid temnospondyls that lived in Euramerica during the Moscovian age. Two species, ''C. bohemicus'' and ''C. florensis'', have been identified from the fossil record. Both species lived in equatorial saltwater marshes with highly variable water depth. The majority of ''Cochleosaurus'' remains have been discovered in fossil assemblages in the Late Carboniferous Sydney Coalfield in Nova Scotia and the Kladno Formation in the Czech Republic. History The first ''Cochleosaurus'' specimen to be discovered was excavated by Antonín Jan Frič in the Westphalian D fossil deposits in Nýřany, Czech Republic, in1879. Due to the incomplete skeleton, he believed it to be a new species of '' Melosaurus'', which he named ''Melosaurus bohemicus''. After more detailed analysis in 1885, Frič realized the specimens belonged to a new genus, and renamed the species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Edopoidea
Edopoidea is a clade of primitive temnospondyl amphibians including the genus ''Edops'' and the family Cochleosauridae. Edopoids are known from the Late Carboniferous and Early Permian of North America and Europe, and the Late Permian of Africa. They are among the most basal temnospondyls, and possess a number of primitive features that were lost in later members of the group. Description Edopoids are relatively large temnospondyls, with many species estimated to have grown several meters in length. The skull of ''Edops'' is broad while those of cochleosaurids are narrower and elongated. Distinguishing features of edopoids include the presence of an intertemporal bone that is absent in all other temnospondyls, and the lack of a pineal foramen, a small hole on the skull roof of many early tetrapods (young individuals still possess this hole). Relative to other temnospondyls, edopoids also have enlarged premaxillae, maxillae, and nasal bones in the snout region, which constrict t ...

Adamanterpeton
''Adamanterpeton (''from Greek: Αδάμαντας ''adamantas,'' meaning 'diamond' and Greek: ἑρπετόν ''herpetón'', meaning 'creeping thing') is a genus of Edopoid Temnospondyl within the family Cochleosauridae. The type species ''A. ohioensis'' was named in 1998 and is currently the only known species within this genus. ''Adamanterpeton'' is rare in the Linton vertebrate assemblage, with other amphibians like ''Sauropleura'', ''Ophiderpeton'', and '' Colosteus'' being more common. Unlike other Linton vertebrates, ''Adamanterpeton'' may have been adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle. History and Discovery The species is only known from two specimens in the fossil record. The cochleosaurid specimens were discovered in the fossil-rich Allegheny Formation of Linton, Ohio by John Strong Newberry, but were only formally described and figured by Edward Drinker Cope in 1875. Using Cope's (1875) work, Moodie (1916) attributed the specimens to '' Macrerpeton'' ''huxleyi,'' howe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lopingian
The Lopingian is the uppermost series/last epoch of the Permian. It is the last epoch of the Paleozoic. The Lopingian was preceded by the Guadalupian and followed by the Early Triassic. The Lopingian is often synonymous with the informal terms late Permian or upper Permian. The name was introduced by Amadeus William Grabau in 1931 and derives from Leping, Jiangxi in China. It consists of two stages/ ages. The earlier is the Wuchiapingian and the later is the Changhsingian. The International Chronostratigraphic Chart (v2018/07) provides a numerical age of 259.1 ±0.5 Ma. If a Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) has been approved, the lower boundary of the earliest stage determines numerical age of an epoch. The GSSP for the Wuchiapingian has a numerical age of 259.8 ± 0.4 Ma. Evidence from Milankovitch cycles suggests that the length of an Earth day during this epoch was approximately 22 hours. Geography During the Lopingian, most of the earth was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
