The Eryops megacephalus featured a flattened, narrow head with raised orbits and an elongated snout. These specialized predators used unique, keeled palatal teeth and had “closed” stegokrotaphic skulls.

But while ancient tetrapods had over forty dermal bones, modern amphibians have reduced this number to nineteen. The skull uses a dicondylic connection. This means it connects to the spine via two articulatory condyles.
