Permian Tetrapods were amphibians and reptiles that lived during the PermianPermian Period . During this time, amphibian s remained common, including various Temnospondyli and Lepospondyli . Synapsid s became the dominant type of animal, represented by the Pelycosaur s during the Cisuralian Early Permian and Therapsid s during the Guadalupian Middle and Lopingian Late Permian, and distinguished by the appearance and possession of mammal like characteristics hence the old term mammal like reptiles . These were accompanied by Anapsid s or Parareptile s, which included both lizard like and large herbivorous forms, and primitive diapsid s.

The Cheshire Basin is a late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary basin which extends under most of the county of Cheshire in northwest England . It extends northwards into the Manchester area and south into Shropshire . The basin possesses something of the character of a graben half graben as its deepest extent is along its eastern and southeastern margins where it is well defined by a series of sub parallel fault geology faults , most important of which is the Wem Bridgemere Red Rock Fault System Red Rock Fault . These faults divide the basin from the older Carboniferous rocks of the Peak District and the North Staffordshire Coalfield . In terms of its architecture, the basin is sometimes considered to be divided into two sub basins the more southerly Wem Audlem Sub basin and the Sandbach Knutsford Sub basin to its northeast. The basin fill is mainly Permian and Triassic sandstone s and mudstone s though also incorporating economically important halite beds. The sequences referred to the Sherwood Sandstone Group and the overlying Mercia Mudstone Group are the thickest in England. An isolated outlier geology outlier of Jurassic rocks occurs within the basin at Prees in north Shropshire. The basin is just one part of a wider complex of basins which include the Worcester Graben , the Stafford Basin and the East Irish Sea Basin , the development of each of which began whilst the crust geology crust of this region was experiencing east west tension during the Permian period geology period .
