“…Endocranial structures of temnospondyls are only known from a few exceptionally wellpreserved specimens belonging to Edops craigi Romer, 1936(Romer & Witter, 1942; Eryops 70 megacephalus Cope, 1877(Sawin, 1941; Dvinosaurus egregius Shishkin, 1968(Shishkin, 1973, Benthosuchus sushkini (Efremov, 1929) (Bystrow & Efremov, 1940); Lyrocephaliscus euri (Wiman, 1914) (Säve-Söderbergh, 1936;Mazin & Janvier, 1985); Mastodonsaurus giganteus (Jaeger, 1828) (Schoch, 1999a); and Paracyclotosaurus davidi Watson, 1958. 4/41 (Sigurdsen, 2008) and Gerrothorax pulcherrimus (Fraas, 1913) (Witzmann et al, 2011) have contributed to our knowledge. Nevertheless, the endocranium is still relatively poorly known in temnospondyls.…”
