Georgenthalia

Georgenthalia is an extinct genus of dissorophoid temnospondyl from the Lower Permian. It is an amphibamid which lived in what is now the Thuringian Forest of central Germany. It is known from the holotype MNG 11135, a small, complete skull. It was found in the Bromacker locality of the Tambach Formation. It was first named by Jason S. Anderson, Amy C. Henrici, Stuart S. Sumida, Thomas Martens and David S. Berman in 2008 and the type species is Georgenthalia clavinasica.[1]

gollark: Oh, and also track how often people return and such.
gollark: That would require you to actually connect, though.
gollark: You can tell where people tend to linger in your shop, say. I'm not sure how much/how this gets associated with other data, though.
gollark: I think it's randomized per-scan, although I'm not certain.
