Pantylus is an extinct lepospondyl amphibian from the Permian period of North America.
Pantylus cordatus
Pantylus was probably a largely terrestrial animal, judging from its well-built legs. It was about 25 centimetres (10 in) long, and resembled a lizard with a large skull and short limbs. It had numerous blunt teeth, and probably chased after invertebrate prey.[1]
