Diplovertebron

Diplovertebron is a genus of embolomere that lived in the Late Carboniferous period (Moscovian), about 310 million years ago. Diplovertebronwas a medium-sized animal, around 50 cm in length.[1] Members of the genus inhabited European Carboniferous swamps in what is now the Czech Republic. They were closely related to larger swamp-dwelling tetrapods like Proterogyrinus and Anthracosaurus. However, Diplovertebron were much smaller than these large, crocodile-like creatures. Known from a single species, Diplovertebron punctatum, this genus has had a complicated history closely tied to Gephyrostegus, another genus of small, reptile-like amphibians.[2][3]
