Journal ArticleDOI
A stem batrachian from the Early Permian of Texas and the origin of frogs and salamanders
TL;DR: The discovery of an amphibamid temnospondyl from the Early Permian of Texas that bridges the gap between other Palaeozoic amphibians and the earliest known salientians and caudatans from the Mesozoic is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Permian Bipedal Reptile
TL;DR: A 290-million-year-old reptilian skeleton from the Lower Permian of Germany provides evidence of abilities for cursorial bipedal locomotion, employing a parasagittal digitigrade posture, and confirms the widespread distribution of Bolosauridae across Laurasia during this early stage of amniote evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower Permian Terrestrial Paleoenvironments and Vertebrate Paleoecology of the Tambach Basin (Thuringia, Central Germany): The Upland Holy Grail
TL;DR: The fossil-vertebrate assemblage shares many taxa in common with others that are well-documented from North America, but is atypical in the: (1) unusually large abundance of the terrestrial herbivore Diadectes; (2) complete absence of aquatic and semi-aquatic vertebrates; and (3) rarity of medium-to-large carnivorous synapsids.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new diadectid (diadectomorpha), orobates pabsti, from the early permian of central germany
TL;DR: A new genus and species of the herbivorous Diadectidae, Orobates pabsti, is described on the basis of several specimens, including two complete, articulated skeletons, a skull with partial postcranium, a partial skull, and a dentigerous jaw fragment from the Tambach Formation, Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redescription of Seymouria sanjuanensis (Seymouriamorpha) from the Lower Permian of Germany based on complete, mature specimens with a discussion of paleoecology of the Bromacker locality assemblage
TL;DR: Two nearly complete, articulated, mature specimens of the amphibian Seymouria are described from the Lower Permian Tambach Formation, lowermost unit of the Upper Rotliegend, of the Bromacker locality in the mid-region of the Thuringian Forest near Gotha, central Germany as discussed by the authors.
