Tirraturhinus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae. [1]
Trematosauridae are a family of large marine temnospondyl amphibians with many members. They first appeared during the Induan age of the Early Triassic, and existed until around the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic, although by then they were very rare. By the Middle Triassic they had become widespread throughout Laurasia and Gondwana with fossils being found in Europe, Asia, Madagascar, and Australia.
Batrachosuchoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian from the Early Triassic of Russia. It was found in the Baskunchakskaia Series and the Lestanshorskaya Svita.
Batrachosaurus is an extinct genus of prehistoric brachyopoid amphibian that lived in Germany during the Middle Triassic (Ladinian). The genus was named by Joseph Fitzinger in 1837 and the type species, B. jaegeri, was named three years later in 1840. It may have been the same animal as Mastodonsaurus.
Deltacephalus is an extinct genus of prehistoric stereospondyl temnospondyl from Madagascar.
Inflectosuchus is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Indolyrocephalus is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Notobrachyops is a genus of brachyopid temnospondyl amphibian. It is known from a skull roof impression found in the Ashfield Shale of Mortdale, New South Wales, Australia. The Ashfield Shale has also yielded a shark species, a lungfish species, six species of paleoniscid fish, a species of holostean fish, a subholostean fish, and the labyrinthodont amphibian Paracyclotosaurus davidi.
Limnogyrinus is an extinct genus of dissorophoidean euskelian temnospondyl within the family Micromelerpetontidae.
Kestrosaurus, occasionally misspelt as Kerstisaurus, is an extinct genus of Triassic capitosauroid temnospondyl amphibian within the family Mastodonsauridae.
Osteophorus is an extinct genus of eryopoidean temnospondyl within the family Eryopidae. It is only known from the Permian of Poland.
Rewana is an extinct genus of prehistoric temnospondyls. Two species have been described from the Arcadia Formation of Australia.
Quasicyclotosaurus is an extinct genus of mastodonsauroid temnospondyl.
Prothoosuchus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Thoosuchidae.
Procochleosaurus is an extinct genus of cochleosaurid temnospondyl. Known from the Jarrow coal mines of Ireland, this genus is the oldest known member of the family Cochleosauridae. It was quite similar to Cochleosaurus, an early temnospondyl from the Czech Republic.
Plagiorophus is an extinct genus of prehistoric plagiosaurid. It is known from the Middle Triassic Bukobay Formation (Ladinian) and Donguz Formation (Anisian) of Russia.
Sinobrachyops placenticephalus is an extinct temnospondyl amphibian from Middle Jurassic-aged Shaximiao Formation in the Sichuan basin, China. S. placenticephalus is one of the youngest known labyrinthodont amphibians.
Schoenfelderpeton is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian. It is a sister taxon to Leptorophus tener.
Syndyodosuchus is an extinct genus of temnospondyl within the family Actinodontidae. It is known from the Permian Inta Formation of European Russia.
Stoschiosaurus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae. It lived during the Early Triassic in what is now Greenland.
