Palaeoherpeton is an extinct genus of eogyrinid embolomere which lived in the Pennsylvanian (late Carboniferous) of Scotland. It is primarily known from a series of relatively small but well-preserved skulls. Some of these have among the best braincase and middle ear material known in embolomeres.[1] Originally given the species name Palaeogyrinus decorus, this was later corrected to Palaeoherpeton decorum when it was determined that Palaeogyrinus was a name preoccupied by a genus of beetles.[2][3]
