Eryopidae

Eryopidae were a group of medium to large amphibious temnospondyli, known from North America and Europe. They are defined as all eryopoids with interpterygoid vacuities (spaces in the interpterygoid bone) that are rounded at the front; and large external nares (Laurin and Steyer 2000). Not all of the genera previously included in the Eryopidae (Carroll 1988) are retained under the cladistic revisions.

gollark: What do you mean "galaxies rotations are described using a inverse square root law" exactly?
gollark: Hmm, yes, I suppose stars count, so just "not important in large-scale interactions directly".
gollark: The strong nuclear force is much stronger than electromagnetism, but also not important in cosmology because it's short range.
gollark: I mean, irrelevant ones which don't back your claims, yes.
gollark: Oh, and "you constantly just refer people to giant sets of papers and random YouTube videos".
