Amniote

Amniotes are tetrapod vertebrate animals belonging to the clade Amniota, a large group that comprises the vast majority of living terrestrial and semiaquatic vertebrates.

See Protorothyrididae and Amniote

Anthracodromeus

Anthracodromeus is an extinct genus of Late Carboniferous (late Westphalian stage) "protorothyridid" tetrapods known from Ohio. Protorothyrididae and Anthracodromeus are protorothyridids.

See Protorothyrididae and Anthracodromeus

Araeoscelidia or Araeoscelida is a clade of extinct amniotes (traditionally classified as diapsid reptiles) superficially resembling lizards, extending from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian.

See Protorothyrididae and Araeoscelidia

Arboreal locomotion

Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees.

See Protorothyrididae and Arboreal locomotion

Asselian

In the geologic timescale, the Asselian is the earliest geochronologic age or lowermost chronostratigraphic stage of the Permian.

See Protorothyrididae and Asselian

Basal (phylogenetics)

In phylogenetics, basal is the direction of the base (or root) of a rooted phylogenetic tree or cladogram.

See Protorothyrididae and Basal (phylogenetics)

Brouffia

Brouffia is an extinct genus of Late Carboniferous (late Westphalian stage) basal reptile known from Pilsen of Czech Republic. Protorothyrididae and Brouffia are Prehistoric reptile stubs and protorothyridids.

See Protorothyrididae and Brouffia

Captorhinidae

Captorhinidae is an extinct family of tetrapods, typically considered primitive reptiles, known from the late Carboniferous to the Late Permian.

See Protorothyrididae and Captorhinidae

Cephalerpeton

Cephalerpeton is an extinct genus of "protorothyridid" tetrapods known from the Late Carboniferous (late Westphalian stage) of Illinois. Protorothyrididae and Cephalerpeton are protorothyridids.

Cisuralian

The Cisuralian is the first series/epoch of the Permian.

See Protorothyrididae and Cisuralian

Coelostegus

Coelostegus is an extinct genus of Late Carboniferous (late Westphalian stage) basal reptile known from Pilsen of Czech Republic. Protorothyrididae and Coelostegus are Prehistoric reptile stubs and protorothyridids.

See Protorothyrididae and Coelostegus

Diapsid

Diapsids ("two arches") are a clade of sauropsids, distinguished from more primitive eureptiles by the presence of two holes, known as temporal fenestrae, in each side of their skulls.

See Protorothyrididae and Diapsid

Eureptilia

Eureptilia ("true reptiles") is one of the two major subgroups of the clade Sauropsida, the other one being Parareptilia.

See Protorothyrididae and Eureptilia

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Protorothyrididae and Extinction

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

Fenestra

A fenestra (fenestration;: fenestrae or fenestrations) is any small opening or pore, commonly used as a term in the biological sciences.

See Protorothyrididae and Fenestra

Hylonomus

Hylonomus (hylo- "forest" + nomos "dweller") is an extinct genus of reptile that lived during the Bashkirian stage of the Late Carboniferous. Protorothyrididae and Hylonomus are protorothyridids.

Llewellyn Ivor Price

Llewellyn Ivor Price (October 9, 1905 – June 9, 1980) was one of the first Brazilian paleontologists.

Monophyly

In biological cladistics for the classification of organisms, monophyly is the condition of a taxonomic grouping being a clade – that is, a grouping of taxa which meets these criteria.

See Protorothyrididae and Monophyly

North America

North America is a continent in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.

See Protorothyrididae and North America

Paleothyris

Paleothyris was a small, agile, anapsid romeriidan reptile which lived in the Moscovian (Carboniferous) age of the Late Carboniferous in Nova Scotia. Protorothyrididae and Paleothyris are Prehistoric reptile stubs and protorothyridids.

See Protorothyrididae and Paleothyris

Paraphyly

Paraphyly is a taxonomic term describing a grouping that consists of the grouping's last common ancestor and some but not all of its descendant lineages. Protorothyrididae and Paraphyly are Paraphyletic groups.

See Protorothyrididae and Paraphyly

Pennsylvanian (geology)

The Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, on the ICS geologic timescale, the younger of two subperiods of the Carboniferous Period (or the upper of two subsystems of the Carboniferous System).

See Protorothyrididae and Pennsylvanian (geology)

Protorothyris

Protorothyris is an extinct genus of Early Permian protorothyridid known from Texas and West Virginia of the United States. Protorothyrididae and protorothyris are protorothyridids.
