Tupilakosauridae
Tupilakosauridae is an extinct family of dvinosaurian temnospondyls. It contains the genera ''Slaugenhopia'', '' Thabanchuia'', '' Tupilakosaurus'', and possibly ''Kourerpeton''. Tupilakosaurs are known from Texas, Greenland, Russia, and France. The earliest tupilakosaur, ''Slaugenhopia'', is Early Permian in age while the latest known tupilakosaurs are Early Triassic in age. Derived tupilakosaurs possess embolomerous centra in their vertebrae, which are diplospondylous. They also have a deep notch in the pterygoid bone of the palate. Tupilakosaurs were aquatic, and used an undulatory mode of swimming much like that of eels.

Dvinosauria
Dvinosaurs are one of several new clades of temnospondyls named in the phylogenetic review of the group by Yates and Warren 2000. They represent a group of primitive semi-aquatic to completely aquatic temnospondyls, and are known from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Triassic, being most common in the Permian period. Their distinguishing characteristics are a reduction of the otic notch; the loss of a flange on the rear side of the pterygoid; and 28 or more presacral vertebrae. Trimerorhachidae is the most basal family of dvinosaurs. Most other dvinosaurs are placed in the superfamily Dvinosauroidea. Within Dvinosauroidea are two families, Eobrachyopidae and Tupilakosauridae, as well as dvinosaurs that cannot be placed in either family, such as '' Dvinosaurus'' and '' Kourerpeton''. A 2008 phylogenetic analysis found Eobrachyopidae to be paraphyletic, representing a grade of basal dvinosauroids. Below is a cladogram A cladogram (from Greek language, Greek ''clados'' " ...

Slaugenhopia
''Slaugenhopia'' is an extinct genus of dvinosaurian temnospondyl within the family (biology), family Tupilakosauridae. Fossils have been found from the Early Permian San Angelo Formation in Texas. The type species, type and only species, ''S. texensis'', was named in 1962. It may be closely related to the dvinosaur ''Kourerpeton''. ''Slaugenhopia'' was once classified as a Trimerorhachidae, trimerorhachid but is now classified as a Tupilakosauridae, tupilakosaurid. Description and history ''Slaugenhopia'' was found from the San Angelo Formation within the Kahn Quarry of Driver Ranch in Knox County, Texas. Although it was known only from fragments, paleontologist Everett C. Olson reconstructed the entire skull when he named the genus in 1962. He placed the genus in the dvinosaur family Trimerorhachidae and thought that it was intermediate between the dvinosaurs ''Trimerorhachis'' and ''Dvinosaurus'' based on the shape of the skull.

Temnospondyl
Temnospondyli (from Greek language, Greek τέμνειν, ''temnein'' 'to cut' and σπόνδυλος, ''spondylos'' 'vertebra') or temnospondyls is a diverse ancient order (biology), order of small to giant tetrapods—often considered Labyrinthodontia, primitive amphibians—that flourished worldwide during the Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic periods, with fossils being found on every continent. A few species continued into the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods, but all had gone extinct by the Late Cretaceous. During about 210 million years of evolutionary history, they adapted to a wide range of habitats, including freshwater, terrestrial, and even coastal marine environments. Their life history is well understood, with fossils known from the larval stage, metamorphosis and maturity. Most temnospondyls were semiaquatic, although some were almost fully terrestrial, returning to the water only to breed. These temnospondyls were some of the first vertebrates fully adapted t ...

Tupilakosaurus
''Tupilakosaurus'' is an extinct genus of dvinosaurian temnospondyl within the family Tupilakosauridae.

Kourerpeton
''Kourerpeton'' is an extinct genus of dvinosaurian temnospondyl. Fossils of ''Kourerpeton'' were discovered in a window of a barber's shop in either Bisbee, Arizona, Bisbee or Mesa, Arizona. ''Kourerpeton'' was named in 1976, with the type species, type and only species being ''K. bradyi''. It was originally assigned to the monotypic family (biology), family Kourerpetidae, which has been Lapsus calami, alternatively spelled Kourerpetontidae. Age and location Because it was not found ''in situ'', the provenance and age of ''Kourerpeton'' is unknown. The fossils are rumored to have been from the Glen Rose Formation near Glen Rose, Texas. Olson and Lammers (1976) discredited this idea because they noted that the Glen Rose Formation is Cretaceous in age, and therefore not a likely source for a temnospondyl. Several studies have claimed that it is Permian or Early Triassic in age. Warren (1999) suggested that ''Kourerpeton'' is from an unknown Guadalupian (Middle Permian) to Early Tr ...

Permian France
The Permian ( ) is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years, from the end of the Carboniferous Period million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.902 Mya. It is the sixth and last period of the Paleozoic Era; the following Triassic Period belongs to the Mesozoic Era. The concept of the Permian was introduced in 1841 by geologist Sir Roderick Murchison, who named it after the region of Perm in Russia. The Permian witnessed the diversification of the two groups of amniotes, the synapsids and the sauropsids (reptiles). The world at the time was dominated by the supercontinent Pangaea, which had formed due to the collision of Euramerica and Gondwana during the Carboniferous. Pangaea was surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa. The Carboniferous rainforest collapse left behind vast regions of desert within the continental interior. Amniotes, which could better cope with these drier conditions, rose to dominance in place of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
