Originally it was thought to be the oldest known reptile. It is unclear whether lizzie layed amniotic eggs and therefore cannot be concluded as an amniote or an amphibian. Either the oldest amniote or very closely related to the earliest amniotes. ]]> 2020-10-05 22:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/804915246 ellahaun https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/804923750 Earliest Reptile - Hylonomus lyelli 
Fully adapted to life on land the Hylonomus lived 315 million years ago.
Known to be the first reptiles after amphibians because they were fully adapted to land. 
Characteristics:
20cm long, fed on millipeads, insects and land snails
"Its head was proportionally much smaller than the amphibians from which it was descended. However, the structure of the skull shows a significant advance over an amphibian skill as it allowed more space for the attachment of stronger jaw muscles."]]> 2020-10-05 22:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/804923750 ellahaun https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/809213509 Amphibians depend on water in their enviroment. "They spend at least part of their life cycle in water... most amphibians lay their eggs in water." 
"Amphibians, though, have thin, delicate, skin that they can actually breathe through" 
Reptiles do not depend on water in their enviroment. "Reptiles have scaly skin that allows them to survive in hot, dry climates" ]]> 2020-10-07 05:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/809213509 ellahaun https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/812192739 2020-10-08 00:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/812192739 ellahaun https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/812200912 2020-10-08 00:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/812200912 ellahaun https://padlet.com/ellahaun/reptileinfographic/wish/812211774 (noteable differences)

From this information, we can infer that a certain species of amphibians experienced an enviroment that lacked the amount of water necessary for life so it adapted to a drier enviroment dependant less on water.
