Branchiosaur

Branchiosaur Plainvillus, or the Eastern North American sub-species has a much longer tail than it's European cousins seen in the artists renderings in this gallery.

Wow!

Very interesting fossil! I have never seen Branchiosaurs from North America - only from Europe. Branchiosaurus amblystomus is very common in the Permian Niederkirchen Beds. B. petrolei can be found in the Autun Basin, France. The Pedasdefogu Basin of Sardinia is the southernmost known occurence of Branchiosaurs in Europe (Melanerpeton eisfeldi and other species).

Are you sure with the name? I tried to google "Branchiosaurus plainvillus", but did not get a single hit.

Way to go, Darin!
