It was a large, aquatic eel-like predator able to grow up to 3 m (10 ft) in length.[1] It has a robust skull about {{convert|40|cm|ft}} in length with large teeth in the jaws and on the roof of the mouth.[2] Anthracosaurus probably inhabited swamps, rivers and lakes. Its name is Greek for "coal lizard". The genus was named by Thomas Henry Huxley when James Russell, a mining surveyor, sent him the first specimens.[3] References1. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20160404095432/http://www.palaeocritti.com/by-group/emblomeri/anthracosaurus Palaeocritti - a guide to prehistoric animals] 2. ^{{cite journal |last=Panchen |first=A.L. |year=1977 |title=On Anthracosaurus russelli Huxley (Amphibia: Labyrinthodontia) and the family Anthracosauridae |journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B |volume=279 |issue=968 |pages=447–512 |doi=10.1098/rstb.1977.0096}} 3. ^[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/109632#page/160/ Description of Anthracosaurus Russelli, a new Labyrinthodont from the Lanarkshire Coal-field, Q.J.Geol.Soc.Lon.,v.19, ] External links
