Cochleosauridae is a family of edopoid temnospondyl amphibians, among the most basal of temnospondyls. Most members of this family are known from the late Carboniferous ( Pennsylvanian) and early Permian ( Cisuralian) of Europe and North America, though Nigerpeton is known from the Late Permian ( Lopingian) of Niger in North Africa.
