  • Eryops, meaning "drawn-out face" because most of its skull was in front of its eyes, is a genus of extinct, semi-aquatic amphibian found primarily in the Lower Permian-aged Admiral Formation (about 295 million years ago) of Archer County, Texas, but fossils are also found in New Mexoco and parts of the eastern United States. Eryops averaged a little over 1.5-2.0 meters (5-6 ft) long, making it one of the largest land animals of its time. It weighed about 90 kilograms (200 lb). It probably had few predators though it would have likely been an easy target for a predator like Dimetrodon which was larger and was likely the apex predator at the time. Several complete skeletons of Eryops have been found in the Lower Permian, but skull plates and teeth are the most common fossils. Although it had no direct descendants, it is the best-known Permian amphibian and a remarkable example of natural engineering. Eryops is an example of an animal that made successful adaptations in the movement from a water environment to a terrestrial one. It retained, and refined, most of the traits found in its fish ancestors. Sturdy limbs supported and transported its body while out of water. A thicker, stronger backbone prevented its body from sagging under its own weight. Also, by utilizing vestigial fish jaw bones, a rudimentary ear was developed, allowing Eryops to hear airborne sound.

Er ist der letzte gemeinsame Vorfahre von kalt- und warmblütigen Tieren und somit auch vom Hadrosaurier, den Voth und den Menschen. Als die Voth Forra Gegen und Tova Veer 2373 den Ersten Kontakt mit der USS Voyager herstellen und der Doktor bei einer Untersuchung von Tova Veer herausfindet, dass er entfernt mit den Menschen verwandt ist, forschen Captain Kathryn Janeway und der Doktor auf dem Holodeck nach, welches Lebewesen der letzte gemeinsame Vorfahre der beiden Spezies war. Der Computer zeigt ihnen daraufhin ein Hologramm von Eryops und erwähnt, dass der Hadrosaurier das höchstentwickelte kaltblütige Tier war, das sich aus dem Eryops entwickelt hat. (VOY: )
