ROMERIA


Meaning of ROMERIA in English

extinct genus of early reptiles, found as fossils in Permian deposits (245 to 286 million years old) of North America. Romeria is included among the cotylosaurs, a group considered to be the stem reptilian stock, but it occurs too late in the geologic record to have been ancestral to more advanced forms; it probably represents the persistence of a primitive stock alongside more advanced forms.
