Gymnarthrids

	Gymnarthrids Gymnarthridae is an extinct family of the group Recumbirostra. Gymnarthrids are known from Europe and North America and existed from the Late Carboniferous through the Early Permian. Remains have been found from the Czech Republic, Nova Scotia, Illinois, Texas, and Oklahoma. Previously they were considered tuditanomorph microsaurs. Gymnarthrids are relatively elongate with short limbs. The skulls of gymnarthrids are also small, with a single row of large conical teeth on the margin of the jaw (a feature that distinguishes them from other microsaurs). In some genera, such as '' Bolterpeton'' and '' Cardiocephalus'', the teeth are labiolingually compressed. Gymnarthridae was first erected by E. C. Case in 1910 to include the newly described ''Gymnarthrus''. It was placed in a new suborder, Gymnarthria. Case initially considered gymnarthrids to be reptiles, but later recognized them to be amphibians, placing ''Cardiocephalus'' in the family. '' Pariotichus'' was placed within Gym ...

	Pariotichus ''Pariotichus'' is an extinct genus of gymnarthrid microsaurs from the early Permian of Texas. History of study ''Pariotichus'' was collected by Jacob Boll from the Wichita Group of Texas in 1878 and described by American paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in the same year. It is one of the first 'microsaurs' to be described from North America. The type species is ''Pariotichus brachyops'', which remains the only presently recognized species of the genus. Other species of ''Pariotichus'' were described, mostly by Cope, that have subsequently been identified as captorhinomorph reptiles (including the well-known ''Captorhinus aguti'') and were reassigned by Case (1911). One other species, "''Pariotichus megalops''" is a junior synonym of the dvinosaur temnospondyl '' Isodectes obtusus.'' The osteology and relationships of ''P. brachyops'' were subsequently reviewed by Gregory et al. (1956) and Carroll & Gaskill (1978). Anatomy The holotype and only specimen of ''Pariotichus'' i ...

	Tuditanomorpha Tuditanomorpha is a suborder of microsaur tetrapods. Tuditanomorphs lived from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian and are known from North America and Europe. Tuditanomorphs have a similar pattern of bones in the skull roof. Tuditanomorphs display considerable variability, especially in body size, proportions, dentition, and presacral vertebral count. Currently there are four families of tuditanomorphs, with two being monotypic. Tuditanids first appear in the Lower Pennsylvanian. Goniorhynchidae, Hapsidopareiidae, and Trihecatontidae appear in the Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian. Gymnarthrids, pantylids, and Ostodolepidae, originally considered in the Tuditanomorpha, were later placed in the group Recumbirostra. '' Asaphestra'', previously thought to be the member of Tuditanomorpha, was reclassified as primitive synapsid in 2020.

	Carboniferous Tetrapods Carboniferous tetrapods include amphibians and reptiles that lived during the Carboniferous Period. Though stem-tetrapods originated in the preceding Devonian, it was in the earliest Carboniferous that the first crown tetrapods appeared, with full scaleless skin and five digits. During this time, amphibians (including many extinct groups unrelated to modern forms, referred to as "basal tetrapods") were the predominant tetrapods, and included the Temnospondyli, Lepospondyli, and Anthracosauria. The first amniotes appeared during the middle Carboniferous ( Early Pennsylvanian) from the lattermost group, and included both sauropsids and synapsids, but it was not until the very end of the Carboniferous, during a rainforest collapse, and afterwards that they began to diversify.

picture info	Prehistoric Tetrapods Of North America Prehistory, also called pre-literary history, is the period of human history between the first known use of stone tools by hominins million years ago and the beginning of recorded history with the invention of writing systems. The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared years ago. It took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted, with writing having spread to almost all cultures by the 19th century. The end of prehistory therefore came at different times in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently. It is based on an old conception of history that without written records there could be no history. The most common conception today is that history is based on evidence, however the concept of prehistory hasn't been completely discarded.
