Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic taxobox
Brachyopoidea is a superfamily of temnospondyls that lived during the Mesozoic. It contains the families Brachyopidae and Chigutisauridae. The earliest records of brachyopids are from the Lower Triassic in Australia. [1] The latest-surviving member of the superfamily is the chigutisaurid Koolasuchus from the Early Cretaceous of Australia.
Description
Some large brachiopoids, such as Siderops and Koolasuchus, grew to lengths of around Шаблон:Convert. However, an unnamed Late Triassic or Early Jurassic brachiopoid from Lesotho in southern Africa is estimated to have been far larger. At an estimated Шаблон:Convert, the brachiopoid from Lesotho is one of the largest amphibians sensu latoШаблон:Ref label ever known.[2] This estimate is based on a single jaw fragment found in 1970 by a French expedition near Alwynskop in Quthing.[3]
Because of its size, the fragment was initially considered to be from a mastodonsaur.[4] However, Several features of the specimen indicate that it is from a brachyopoid. There is a large tusk protruding from the ectopterygoid, a bone of the palate, and the dental morphology is similar to that of other brachyopoids. When viewed from the side, the upper margin of the jaw appears concave.[2] The specimen was redescribed as a brachyopoid in 2005.
Classification
