Actinodon
''Actinodon'' is an extinct genus of eryopoidean temnospondyl within the family Eryopidae. History of study ''Actinodon'' was named in 1866 by French paleontologist Jean Albert Gaudry based on a holotype skull that was collected by Charles Frossard near Muse in the Autun Basin (early Permian) of France. The status and relationship of the taxon was long problematic because the holotype was thought to be lost, until it was rediscovered in the collections of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in 1996. In the intervening 130 years, a variety of specimens were described by other workers, some of which were attributed to other species or only to the genus level. Werneburg & Steyer (1999) were the most recent to redescribe material of this taxon, and they referred it to the eryopoid ''Onchiodon'' as a valid species, while Schoch & Milner (2000) argued that it might be a species of the stereospondylomorph ''Sclerocephalus'', but phylogenetic analyses have not recovered ''A. frossardi'' ...

Cheliderpeton
''Cheliderpeton'' (often misspelled ''Chelyderpeton'') is an extinct genus of temnospondyl amphibian. It lived during the Early Permian in what is now Europe. Fossils have been found from the Ruprechtice horizon of the Intrasudetic Basin of Bohemia in the Czech Republic, as well as the Saar-Nahe Basin of southwestern Germany. ''Cheliderpeton'' had a 16 cm skull, and reached about 65 cm in length.http://www.angellis.net/Web/PDfiles/amphs.pdf The type species of ''Cheliderpeton'' is ''Chelidosaurus vranyi'', named in 1877 by the Czech (people), Czech paleontologist Antonin Fritsch and found from the Czech Republic. The preoccupied generic name, referring to the trunk armour of turtles, was first changed into ''Chelydosaurus'' in 1885 and finally into ''Cheliderpeton'' in 1887. A second species named ''C. latirostre'' was described in 1993 by J. A. Boy from Germany, after having been assigned to ''Archegosaurus''. It differs from the type in having a less extensive preor ...

Eryopidae
Eryopidae were a group of medium to large amphibious temnospondyli, known from North America and Europe. They are defined as all eryopoids with interpterygoid vacuities (spaces in the interpterygoid bone) that are rounded at the front; and large external nares (Laurin and Steyer 2000). Not all of the genera previously included in the Eryopidae (Carroll 1988) are retained under the cladistic revisions.

Temnospondyl
Temnospondyli (from Greek language, Greek τέμνειν, ''temnein'' 'to cut' and σπόνδυλος, ''spondylos'' 'vertebra') is a diverse order (biology), order of small to giant tetrapods—often considered Labyrinthodontia, primitive amphibians—that flourished worldwide during the Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic periods. A few species continued into the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Fossils have been found on every continent. 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 to life on land. Although temnospondyls are considered amphibians, many had cha ...

Eryops
''Eryops'' (; from Greek , , 'drawn-out' + , , 'face', because most of its skull was in front of its eyes) is a genus of extinct, amphibious temnospondyls. It contains the single species , the fossils of which are found mainly in early Permian (about 295 million years ago) rocks of the Texas Red Beds, located in Archer County, Texas. Fossils have also been found in late Carboniferous period rocks from New Mexico. Several complete skeletons of ''Eryops'' have been found in lower Permian rocks, but skull bones and teeth are its most common fossils. Description ''Eryops'' averaged a little over long and could grow up to , making them among the largest land animals of their time. Adults weighed between . The skull was proportionately large, being broad and flat and reaching lengths of . It had an enormous mouth with many curved teeth like the frog. Its teeth had enamel with a folded pattern, leading to its early classification as a "labyrinthodont" ("maze toothed"). The sh ...

Fossils of ''Clamorosaurus'' have been found in the Inta Formation (Vorkuta series) in Russia. They are dated to about 272.5 million years ago, which was during the Ufimian interval of the Permian.
