Abstract
Present knowledge of the postcranial skeleton of temnospondyl labyrinthodonts is reviewed, providing information on what positively assignable material is known. Some differences between the postcrania of the various families of temnospondyls are described, showing that detailed examination of postcranial elements does in fact reveal features which can be used to identify and diagnose Mesozoic families.Keywords
