Fangs and toilet seat-shaped head: giant salamander-like fossil found in Namibia
Briefly

The creature, Gaiasia jennyae, was about 2.5 metres long, had an enormous toilet seat-shaped head and fearsome interlocking fangs.
Gaiasia would have been the top predator of its ecosystem and among the largest land predators of the time period, with a big, flat, toilet seat-shaped head and huge fangs.
At least four incomplete fossil specimens of Gaiasia were discovered, including skull fragments and an almost complete backbone, revealing its powerful bite capable of capturing large prey.
