Batrachosuchus Henwoodi
''Batrachosuchus henwoodi'' is a fossil species of amphibian, first described as ''Blinasaurus henwoodi'' by John W. Cosgriff in 1969. The species was placed in a new generic combination when separating the genus '' Blinasaurus'', currently subsumed as a synonym to the genus ''Platycepsion ''Platycepsion wilksoni'' is an extinct species of prehistoric amphibian, known from partial skeleton deposited in shale at the Gosford Quarry site of the Terrigal Formation in Australia.

Blinasaurus
''Blinasaurus'' is a name of an extinct genus of prehistoric brachyopid found in Triassic geological formations of Australia. The type species is '' Platyceps wilkinsonii'' Stephens, 1887. The genus was established by John W. Cosgriff in 1969 to incorporate the type, discovered in New South Wales, and the author's new fossil species, '' Blinasaurus henwoodi'', describing type material found in Blina Shale in the Kimberley region of northwest Australia. The genus was represented by three species, however, the type species (''Platyceps wilkinsonii'' Stephens, 1887) was assigned to a new monotypic genus as ''Platycepsion wilkinsoni''. A species described by Cosgriff in the same study was placed in a new combination as ''Batrachosuchus henwoodi ''Batrachosuchus henwoodi'' is a fossil species of amphibian, first described as ''Blinasaurus henwoodi'' by John W.

Platycepsion
''Platycepsion wilksoni'' is an extinct species of prehistoric amphibian, known from partial skeleton deposited in shale at the Gosford Quarry site of the Terrigal Formation in Australia. Taxonomy The species is assigned to a currently monotypic genus, the synonym ''Platyceps wilkinsonii'', a name published in 1887 by the Australian palaeontologist William Stephens, was nominated as the type. A revision in 1964 by Oskar Kuhn assigned the species to the genus ''Platycepsion'' to replace the earlier combination, which was invalidated by an earlier use of the name ''Platyceps'' for a colubrid genus of snakes. Another revising author John W. Cosgriff named the species as the type for a new genus, ''Blinasaurus'', unaware of Kuhn's replacement of the name, and placed a second species in the same genus, later separated to a new combination as ''Batrachosuchus henwoodi''. The author noted the epithet ''Wilkinsonii'' in the first description as commemorating the deputy chair of the L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brachyopids
Brachyopidae is an extinct family of temnospondyl labyrintodonts. They evolved in the early Mesozoic and were mostly aquatic.

Triassic Temnospondyls Of Australia
The Triassic ( ) is a geologic period and system which spans 50.6 million years from the end of the Permian Period 251.902 million years ago ( Mya), to the beginning of the Jurassic Period 201.36 Mya. The Triassic is the first and shortest period of the Mesozoic Era. Both the start and end of the period are marked by major extinction events. The Triassic Period is subdivided into three epochs: Early Triassic, Middle Triassic and Late Triassic. The Triassic began in the wake of the Permian–Triassic extinction event, which left the Earth's biosphere impoverished; it was well into the middle of the Triassic before life recovered its former diversity. Three categories of organisms can be distinguished in the Triassic record: survivors from the extinction event, new groups that flourished briefly, and other new groups that went on to dominate the Mesozoic Era. Reptiles, especially archosaurs, were the chief terrestrial vertebrates during this time. A specialized subgroup of archosaurs ...
