Urocordylus (from Greek: οὐρά oura, 'tail' and Greek: κορδῡ́λη kordū́lē, 'club') is an extinct genus of nectridean lepospondyl. It is the type genus of the family Urocordylidae. Fossils have been found from Ireland that date back to the Westphalian stage of the late Carboniferous.[2] This lepospondyl had total length of about 19.5 in (500 mm), but skull length was only about 1.3 in (33 mm).[3]
