Branchiosaur: The rapacious branchiosaurs (meaning "gill lizard") are very early amphibians from early carbon to the early permian (roughly 290 - 300 million years ago). It was not a dinosaur. Like all amphibians, they had to live near the water since amphibian eggs have no shells and must be laid in the water (or in very damp areas) or they will dry out and die. Fossils of these salamander-sized amphibian have been found in Europe and Eastern North America. They were the closest relatives of the lissamphibians. Footprints and trackways of Branchiosaur Plainvillus are often found in a few locations in Eastern Massachusetts.

After doing some research, I'm under the impression that this is Gastrioceras sp. Not sure how to go about updating the post though.

Based on the enamel "shelf" on the labial side, I would have IDed this as a retroflexus. May I ask what features indicate desori?
