Archeria (animal)

Archeria is a genus of embolomere which lived in the Early Permian of Texas and Oklahoma.

The skull was moderately long and low, up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length.

Unlike most embolomeres, Archeria had many small chisel-shaped teeth instead of large fangs.

The anatomy of Archeria is well known compared to most embolomeres, as it is known from multiple complete skeletons discovered in 1939 by A.S. Romer.

Other remains of the genus were previously referred to Cricotus, a North American embolomere of dubious validity.
