Diplocaulus (meaning "double stalk") is an extinct genus of lepospondyl amphibians which lived from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Permian of North America and Africa. Diplocaulus is by far the largest and best-known of the lepospondyls, characterized by a distinctive boomerang-shaped skull.
Lepospondyli is a diverse taxon of early tetrapods.With the exception of one late-surviving lepospondyl from the Late Permian of Morocco (Diplocaulus minimus), [6] lepospondyls lived from the Visean stage of the Early Carboniferous to the Early Permian and were geographically restricted to what is now Europe and North America.
The Diplocaulidae ("double cauls") is an extinct family of "nectridean" tetrapodomorphs that arose during the Late Carboniferous and died out in the Late Permian. [1] They are distinguished by the presence of strange, horn-like protrusions jutting out from the rear of their skulls; in some genera said protrusions gave their heads an almost boomerang-like outline.

Microsauria ("small lizards") is an extinct, possibly polyphyletic [1] order of tetrapods from the late Carboniferous and early Permian periods. It is the most diverse and species-rich group of lepospondyls.
