Temnospondyli - Wikipedia
Temnospondyli means "cut vertebrae", as each vertebra is divided into several parts (intercentrum, paired pleurocentra, neural arch), although this occurs widely among other early tetrapods.
Palaeos Vertebrates Temnospondyli
The Temnospondyli evolved in the Early Carboniferous. Most Paleozoic forms became extinct before or during the Lopingian (Late Permian). However two aquatic Gondwanan clades, the dvinosaurs and stereospondyls, survived and even prospered in the early Mesozoic.

Also somewhere around the base of Temnospondyli was Capetus palustris from the famous Upper Carboniferous Nýřany desposits of the Czech Republic: this is one of the richest Late Carboniferous fossil sites in the world, yielding at least 700 tetrapod fossils, discovered from the 1870s onwards.

Within the Temnospondyli, the Eryops appendicular skeleton is most similar to that of the Dissorophoidea, and most dissimilar to both the most plesiomorphic temnospondyls and the secondarily aquatic Mesozoic stereospondyls.
The Carboniferous: Temnospondyls - Furman University
Temnospondyli, an order of very widespread and large extinct 'proto-amphibians', have been found all over the world in different environments. Resembling large salamanders or small crocodiles, temnospondyls ranged between 20 cm to 3 m long, with varying lengths of snouts.
Temnospondyli | Journal of Zoological Research - Open Access Pub
Temnospondyli are an extinct group of large amphibians that date back to the late Paleozoic era, roughly 280 million years ago. They were the dominant large vertebrates during this period, and were characterized by a sprawling body plan and four limbs.
