Archegosauridae

Archegosauridae is a family of relatively large and long snouted temnospondyls that lived in the Permian period. They were fully aquatic animals, and were metabolically and physiologically more similar to fish than modern amphibians.[1]

gollark: Because there's bureaucracy surrounding it.
gollark: Having a dedicated hardware device for enforcing rules like that also means you end up with stuff like TI's apparent dominance in America.
gollark: That would be so disastrous and terrible.
gollark: Oh no. Imagine if you did not have to rote-memorize things as much.
gollark: I mean, dedicated hardware devices for mathy stuff any general purpose computer can do literally thousands of times faster?
