Nooxobeia is an extinct genus of dissorophid temnospondyl from the Early Permian ( Guadalupian) of Oklahoma. The generic name is derived from the Arapaho (a language spoken in the type locality of the holotype) word nooxobe, which means frog. [1]
Taxonomy
Olson (1972) referred a complete dissorophid specimen (UCLA VP 3066) from the Chickasha Formation of Oklahoma to Fayella chickashaensis based on cranial similarities to the holotype. [2] However, in 2018, Gee, Scott and Reisz declared Fayella a nomen dubium and an indeterminate temnospondyl, and made UCLA VP 3066 the holotype of the new species Nooxobeia gracilis. [1]
