Discosauriscus was a small reptiliomorph belonging to the order Seymouriamorpha, and is the type genus of the family Discosauriscidae. These Discosauricus are all found at one particular mass mortality level. Fossilization is by rapid death and burial under anerobic conditions – low to no oxygen hence no predation and slow decay. This results in very high levels of fossil preservation.
