Trematosuchus

Trematosuchus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae from South Africa.[1] It was first named by Haughton in 1915 as Trematosaurus sobeyi. It was assigned to its own genus Trematosuchus by Watson in 1919.[1]

gollark: Oh, actually just > 0 since it's a denominator, yes.
gollark: The $9-x^2$ bit has to have a value >= 0. So solve that and work out for which values it is >= 0.
gollark: You want the bit in the square root to be greater than or equal to 0, so just figure out what values of x give you that.
gollark: I see.
gollark: ?
