living on Earth at that time went extinct from this event. It lived alongside many other smaller amphibians, and its fossils are also commonly found with phytosaur fossils. It was named in 1931 by Case. The best conditions for fossilization occur in river valleys or floodplains where deposition is occurring, and this animal likely lived in similar shallow, swampy habitats. As it follows, Anaschisma is famous for having extremely well preserved fossils, and they are often found in groups.
