Cardiocephalus

Cardiocephalus is an extinct genus of leponspondyl amphibian from the Permian period.  All lepospondyls are characterised by having simple, spool-shaped vertebra, which were not preformed as cartilage, but rather grew as bony cylinders around the notochord. In addition, the upper portion of the vertebra, the neural arch, is usually fused to the centra or main body of the vertebra.  No clear common ancestors are known, since each of the known groups were already highly specialised when they first appear in the fossil record. It is not known whether the lepospondyls were a group which independently evolved similar characteristics of the vertebra, or whether they descended from a single common ancestor.
