Pantylus (from Greek: παν pan, 'all' and Greek: τύλος tylos, 'knob')[1] is an extinct microsaurian tetrapod from the Permian period of North America.
Pantylus was probably a largely terrestrial animal, judging from its well-built legs. It was about 25 centimetres (10 in) long, and resembled a lizard with a large skull and short limbs. It had numerous blunt teeth, and probably chased after invertebrate prey.[2]
