Taxonomy
The holotype of Fayella chickashaensis, FMNH UR 1004, comprises a brain case with part of basicraium, basipterygoid processes, and part of otic complex. It was found in the Chickasha Formation of Oklahoma.[2] Olson (1972) referred a complete specimen (UCLA VP 3066) to Fayella based on cranial similarities.[3] However, Gee et al. (2018) declared Fayella a nomen dubium, assigning it to Temnospondyli indeterminate and coining Nooxobeia for UCLA VP 3066, which is definitely a dissorophid.[4]
gollark: harbinger of the apocalypse wall
gollark: I have *seen* a decent amount of shiny things, but mostly only caught coppers, during halloween when nobody was looking.
gollark: I do this to the extent of occasionally hunting for a bit on the 5 minute thingies, very unsuccessfully.
gollark: The only thing saving us from constant massbreed walls, really, is the fact that massbreeding is manually done and therefore slow and boring.
gollark: These things never end up actually being as simple as one would hope.
