Batropetes
''Batropetes'' is an extinct genus of brachystelechid recumbirostran " microsaur". ''Batropetes'' lived during the Sakmarian stage of the Early Permian. Fossils attributable to the type species ''B. fritschi'' have been collected from the town of Freital in Saxony, Germany, near the city of Dresden. Additional material has been found from the Saar-Nahe Basin in southwestern Germany and has been assigned to three additional species: ''B. niederkirchensis'', ''B. palatinus'', and ''B. appelensis''. Description ''Batropetes'' is small and short-bodied for a microsaur. Its average total body length was about . The orbits are large and the skull is short. ''Batropetes'' possesses scales on its underside that are similar to those of reptiles. ''Batropetes'' is distinguished from ''Carrolla'', another brachystelechid microsaur, by the presence of three cusps on the premaxillary and anterior dentary teeth. In ''Carrolla'', there are only two cusps. Additional diagnostic feat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brachystelechidae
Brachystelechidae is an extinct family of Early Permian microsaurs. The family was first named by Robert L. Carroll and Pamela Gaskill in 1978, with the only member being ''Brachystelechus fritschi''. ''Brachystelechus fritschi'' has since been reassigned to the genus ''Batropetes''. Three genera are currently assigned to the family: ''Batropetes'', from Germany; ''Carrolla'', from Texas; and ''Quasicaecilia'', also from Texas.

Recumbirostran
Recumbirostra is a clade of tetrapods which lived during the Carboniferous and Permian periods. They are thought to have had a fossorial (burrowing) lifestyle and the group includes both short-bodied and long-bodied snake-like forms. At least one species, the molgophid ''Nagini mazonense,'' lost its forelimbs entirely. It includes the families Pantylidae, Gymnarthridae, Ostodolepidae, Rhynchonkidae and Brachystelechidae, with additional families such as Microbrachidae and Molgophidae being included by some authors. Recumbirostra was erected as a clade in 2007 to include many of the taxa traditionally grouped in " Microsauria", which has since been shown to be a paraphyletic or polyphyletic grouping. Like other "microsaurs", the recumbirostrans have traditionally been considered to be members of the subclass Lepospondyli; however, many phylogenetic analyses conducted since the 2010s have recovered recumbirostrans as basal sauropsid amniotes Amniotes are a clade of te ...

Carrolla
''Carrolla'' is an extinct genus of brachystelechid ' microsaur' that lived in the Lower Permian in North America. It was named in 1986 by American paleontologists Wann Langston and Everett Olson. The type species, ''Carrolla craddocki'', is the only known species. History of study ''Carrolla'' was named for the type species by Langston & Olson (1986) for a single, complete skull collected from the early Permian of Archer County, Texas; the specimen is reposited at the Texas Memorial Museum in Austin. They immediately recognized the similarity to Brachystelechus'',' the eponymous genus from Europe; this genus was subsequently synonymized with '' Batropetes,'' traditionally considered a reptile but which had taxonomic precedent. Numerous features were cited as evidence for an ability to burrow, which was considered rare among 'microsaurs' at the time, and several shared features with modern amphibian Amphibians are tetrapod, four-limbed and ectothermic vertebrates o ...

Quasicaecilia
''Quasicaecilia'' is an extinct genus of microsaur. It is known from the Early Permian of Texas in the United States. A single specimen is known, collected from the Texas Permian redbeds by Charles Hazelius Sternberg in 1917. It was originally identified as a specimen of the gymnarthrid microsaur ''Cardiocephalus''. The skull is small, less than in length, and the otic capsule (a hollow region of bone encapsulating the inner ear) is very large in comparison to the rest of the skull. The skull of ''Quasicaecilia'' superficially resembles those of extant but unrelated caecilians, hence the genus name. ''Quasicaecilia'' was assigned to the new family Brachystelechidae in 1991 along with the genera ''Batropetes'' and ''Carrolla''.

Microsauria
Microsauria ("small lizards") is an extinct, possibly polyphyletic order of tetrapods from the late Carboniferous and early Permian periods. It is the most diverse and species-rich group of lepospondyls. Recently, Microsauria has been considered paraphyletic, as several other non-microsaur lepospondyl groups such as Lysorophia seem to be nested in it. Microsauria is now commonly used as a collective term for the grade of lepospondyls that were originally classified as members of Microsauria. The microsaurs all had short tails and small legs, but were otherwise quite varied in form. The group included lizard-like animals that were relatively well-adapted to living on dry land, burrowing forms, and others that, like the modern axolotl, retained their gills into adult life, and so presumably never left the water. Distribution Microsaur remains have been found from Europe and North America in Late Carboniferous and Early Permian localities. Most North American microsaurs have bee ...

Hyloplesion
''Hyloplesion'' is an extinct genus of microbrachomorph microsaur. It is the type and only genus within the family Hyloplesiontidae. Fossils have been found from the Czech Republic near the towns of Plzeň, Nýřany, and Třemošná, and date back to the Middle Pennsylvanian. The type species is ''H. longicostatum'', named in 1883. Two species belonging to different genera, ''Seeleya pusilla'' and ''Orthocosta microscopica'', have been synonymized with ''H. longicostatum'' and are thought to represent very immature individuals. Description ''Hyloplesion'' was about as large as a medium-sized salamander, with the length of known specimens ranging from 17-77mm. The skull is triangular in shape. Unlike many other microsaurs, the palate of ''Hyloplesion'' contains large vacuities, or openings. The fifth maxillary tooth is enlarged and resembles a canine. The skull of ''Hyloplesion'' superficially resembles that of the unrelated romeriid reptile '' Romeria'' in lateral view ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hylonomus
''Hylonomus'' (; ''hylo-'' "forest" + ''nomos'' "dweller") is an extinct genus of reptile that lived 312 million years ago during the Late Carboniferous period. It is the earliest unquestionable reptile (''Westlothiana'' is older, but in fact it may have been an amphibian, and ''Casineria'' is rather fragmentary). The only species is the type species ''Hylonomus lyelli''. Despite being amongst the oldest known reptiles, it is not the most primitive member of group, being a eureptile more derived than either parareptiles or captorhinids. Description ''Hylonomus'' was long (including the tail). Most of them are 20 cm long and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and it likely ate small invertebrates such as millipedes or early insects. Fossils of ''Hylonomus'' have been found in the remains of fossilized club moss stumps in the Joggins Formation, Joggins, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is supposed that, after harsh weather, the cl ...

Robert L
The name Robert is an ancient Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic "fame" and "bright" (''Hrōþiberhtaz''). Compare Old Dutch ''Robrecht'' and Old High German ''Hrodebert'' (a compound of '' Hruod'' ( non, Hróðr) "fame, glory, honour, praise, renown" and ''berht'' "bright, light, shining"). It is the second most frequently used given name of ancient Germanic origin. It is also in use as a surname. Another commonly used form of the name is Rupert. After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England in its Old French form ''Robert'', where an Old English cognate form (''Hrēodbēorht'', ''Hrodberht'', ''Hrēodbēorð'', ''Hrœdbœrð'', ''Hrœdberð'', ''Hrōðberχtŕ'') had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto. Robert is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Scots, Danish, and Icelandic. It can be use ...
