In this lecture I will teach you how to identify and distinguish the major groups of early Mississippian and Pennsylvanian tetrapods. These groups of early tetrapods would split into lineages that would go on to evolve into modern amphibians, the Lissamphibia as well as reptiles, birds and mammals, the Amniota.
