An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Baphetids or Loxommatids were large tetrapod predators of the Late Carboniferous period (Namurian through Westphalian) of Europe. Fragmentary remains from the Early Carboniferous of Canada have been tentatively assigned to the group. Not only are they included among the very early tetrapodomorphs, but they were also among the first of the Carboniferous fossil tetrapods to be found and were originally described in 1850 by William Dawson. They are known mainly from skulls; very little skeletal material has been found. But even from this quite a lot can be deduced.
