Amphibian.

Seymouria is a genus of reptile-like amphibian of the Early Permian.  It was so reptile-like that paleontologists considered it an early reptile when it was first studied.  It was around that time that it was even considered a transitional form between the two groups.  However, it lived at a time after reptiles had already appeared.

Fossils of this amphibian are uncommon.
