Tseajaia
Extinct genus of tetrapods / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tseajaia is an extinct genus of tetrapod. It was a basal diadectomorph that lived in the Permian of North America.[1] The skeleton is that of a medium-sized, rather advanced reptile-like animal. In life it was about 1 metre (3 ft) long and may have looked vaguely like an iguana. The dentition was somewhat blunt, indicating herbivory or possibly omnivory.
