Etymology
mul Reptilia morpha
Proper noun
clade superclass Tetrapoda reptile-like amphibians, which gave rise to the amniotes in the Carboniferous
Usage notes
There is massive disagreement over what species outside the Amniota are in this clade. The interpretation of the branch-based definitions depend on the author's beliefs as to how non-amniote tetrapods are related to amniotes and modern amphibians, and the history is still (2024) unresolved, with diametrically opposed hypotheses both having significant support.
