Fedexia

Wikipedia Abstract

Fedexia is an extinct genus of carnivorous temnospondyl within the family Trematopidae. It lived 300 million years ago during the late Carboniferous period. It is estimated to have been two feet long, and likely resembled a salamander. Fedexia is known from a single skull found in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is named after the shipping service FedEx, which owned the land where the holotype specimen was first found.
