Casineria is an extinct genus of tetrapod which lived about 340-334 million years ago in the Mississippian epoch of the Carboniferous period. Its generic name, Casineria, is a latinization of Cheese Bay, the site near Edinburgh, Scotland where the holotype fossil was found. When originally described in 1999, it was identified as a transitional fossil noted for its mix of basal (amphibian-like) and advanced (reptile-like) characteristics, putting it at or very near the origin of the amniotes, the group containing all mammals, birds, modern reptiles, and other descendants of their reptile-like common ancestor. However, the sole known fossil is lacking key elements such as a skull, making exact analysis difficult. As a result, the classification of Casineria has been more controversial in ana

  • Casineria kiddi és una espècie de tetràpode que va viure fa uns 340 milions d'anys durant el Mississipià. El nom Casineria és una llatinització de Cheese Bay, un lloc prop d'Edimburg, on es va descobrir. Vivia en ambients secs de l'actual Escòcia. És un fòssil de transició que destaca per la seva combinació de caràcters primitius (amfibis) i avançats (rèptils), situant-se en o molt a prop de l'origen dels amniotes. En l'única troballa que hi ha falten elements clau (la major part del crani i tota la part inferior del cos), fent que l'anàlisi exacta difícil. (ca)
  • La casineria (Casineria kiddi) è un tetrapode estinto, forse appartenente agli amnioti. Visse nel Carbonifero inferiore (circa 340 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Scozia. (it)
  • Casineria kiddi — викопний вид ранніх рептиліоморфних тварин, що існував у ранньому карбоні (340—334 млн років тому). Викопні рештки твраини знайдені у місцевості Cheese Bay місця поблизу Единбурга (Шотландія). Коли вид було описано в 1999 році, його було ідентифіковали як перехідну форму, відзначену сумішшю базальних (подібних до земноводних) і прогресивних (подібних до рептилій) характеристик. Однак у єдиній відомої скам'янілості відсутні такі ключові елементи, як череп, що ускладнює точний аналіз. (uk)
