It was a small, lizard-like animal, about 20 to 30 centimetres (7.9 to 11.8 in) long, with numerous sharp teeth indicating an insectivorous diet. [40] Other examples include Westlothiana (for the moment considered a reptiliomorph rather than a true amniote ) [ 41 ] and Paleothyris , both of similar build and presumably similar habit.
