Amphibamus

Amphibamus is a genus of amphibamidtemnospondylamphibians from the Carboniferous (middle Pennsylvanian) of North America. This animal is considered to have been close to the ancestry of modern amphibians. Its length was about 20 centimetres (7.9 in).

The generic name Amphibamus alludes to the two modes of locomotion of the animal, swimming with its oar-shaped tail, and crawling because of its long fingers with claws, from Greek (amphí) "both" and (-bámōn) "that goes" or βᾶμα (bâma) "leg".
