| rdfs:comment | - Platyhystrix (meaning "flat porcupine") was a temnospondyl amphibian with a distinctive sail along its back, similar to the unrelated synapsids, Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus. It lived during the Permian period of Texas, 290 to 270 million years ago.
- Platyhystrix appeared rather unusual: the dorsal vertebrae were extraordinarily lengthened, and in life they probably formed a skin-covered sail. This structure was possibly for thermal regulation, as in other animals of similar appearance, such as the pelycosaurs Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus. The back of Platyhystrix was also covered with thick hard plates, similar to those of its near relative, Cacops.
- Descubierto en 1911,significa "Puerco espin aplanado" y es un genero extinto representado por una unica especie de temnospóndilo que vivio a principios del periodo Pérmico.Es muy similar a los reptiles Dimetrodon y Edaphosaurus, de hecho, convivio con estos.
