Reproductive mode
"While undoubtedly amphibian in life and reproductive mode" is unreferenced, and seems to go too far. As far as I'm aware, nothing is known of its reproductive mode, and the animal could be amphibian or amniote in its reproduction. If there is evidence on this point, we would like to hear about it.

 * The quoted passage might make sense if there were only two possibilities: laying eggs in the water and laying them on dry land. If the latter, they would have had to be amniotic. However, there is at least one other possibility: that early tetrapods were ovoviviparous (giving birth to live young), like Coelacanths (see Coelacanth). At this point there is no hard evidence for any of these possibilities, but the ovoviviparous option is taken very seriously. (Clack, Gaining Ground 2012) For this reason, I am going to remove the offending passage. Zyxwv99 (talk) 21:04, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
