Platyoposaurus was a Temnospondyli amphibian from the Middle Permian period about 270-268 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]
