Bohemiclavulus
is a genus of pelycosaur
that lived in Europe during the
Carboniferous. Bohemiclavulus is named from a
single spinal process
of a vertebra (the pointy up bit at the top). This spinal process
at least indicates that Bohemiclavulus would have
had a sail on its
back, hence why it was previously assigned to the genera Ianthasaurus
and Edaphosaurus
before being assigned to its own genus in
2019.
