Platyoposaurus

Platyposaurus was a Temnospondyli amphibian from the late Permain period about 255-250 Mya ^[1].

One of the discoveries includes a skull 28 cm long with a purported body length of 250 cm representing a carnivorous adult specimen^[2].

The fossil remains were found in Belebey, Bashkortostan in Russia, and the name Platyposaurus means "flat faced reptile" ^[3].
