Fayella is an extinct genus of dubious temnospondyl from the Early Permian (Guadalupian) of Oklahoma.[1]

Taxonomy

The holotype of Fayella chickashaensis, FMNH UR 1004, comprises a brain case with part of basicranium, basipterygoid processes, and part of otic complex. It was found in the Chickasha Formation of Oklahoma.[2] Olson (1972) referred a complete specimen (UCLA VP 3066) to Fayella based on cranial similarities.[3] However, Gee et al. (2018) declared Fayella a nomen dubium, assigning it to Temnospondyli indeterminate and coining Nooxobeia for UCLA VP 3066, which is definitely a dissorophid.[4]
