Meaning of "labyrinthodon" in English

"Labyrinthodon" refers to an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibians that lived approximately 360 to 150 million years ago, during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic periods. These creatures are known for their distinctive dental structure, which features complex, labyrinthine folds in the enamel of their teeth, hence the name "labyrinthodon." This intricate tooth pattern helped paleontologists identify and classify these amphibians as part of the Labyrinthodontia order. The term is primarily used in paleontological contexts to describe certain fossil records and trace the evolutionary history of modern amphibians.

Meaning of "labyrinthodon" in French

The term "labyrinthodon" in French also denotes the same extinct genus of prehistoric amphibians known to have existed roughly between 360 and 150 million years ago. Like its English usage, it is used in scientific and paleontological discussions. The name comes from the complex, maze-like structures in their dental morphology, characteristic of the Labyrinthodontia order. These ancient amphibians are significant for understanding the evolutionary pathways leading to current amphibian species. The term is employed particularly in historical and scientific contexts to analyze fossil finds and the history of vertebrate evolution.
