Clamorosaurus borealis skull
Clamorosaurus borealis skull (from.)
Clamorosaurus borealis was a Permian amphibian found in western Russia dating from about 272.5 million years ago, during the Ufimian interval of the Permian.
It was discovered in the Inta Area of the Komi Republic in European Russia, and classified in 1983 by Gubin as an amphibian in the order Temnospondyli, and the family Eryopidae, related to Eryops in South Africa.
The wide, armored skull of Clamorosaurus in
the figure is viewed fron the top, showing the dermal scales on its
head. The spaces in the interpterygoid bone of Clamorosaurus
were rounded at the front, and the external nares or nostril openings
were large. Both of these characteristics are features of all members
of Eryopidae. .
