However, an unnamed Late Triassic or Early Jurassic brachiopoid from Lesotho in southern Africa is estimated to have been far larger.

At an estimated 7 metres (23 ft), the brachiopoid from Lesotho is one of the largest amphibians sensu lato[a] ever known.

[2] This estimate is based on a single jaw fragment found in 1970 by a French expedition near Alwynskop in Quthing.

There is a large tusk protruding from the ectopterygoid, a bone of the palate, and the dental morphology is similar to that of other brachyopoids.
