In Depth
Bohemiclavulus is a genus of pelycosaur that lived in Europe during the Carboniferous. Bohemiclavulus is named from a single spinal process of a vertebra (the pointy up bit at the top). This spinal process at least indicates that Bohemiclavulus would have had a sail on its back, hence why it was previously assigned to the genera Ianthasaurus and Edaphosaurus before being assigned to its own genus in 2019.
