(st[e^]g`[-o]*s[e^]f"[.a]*l[.a]), n. pl. [NL., fr. Gr. ste`gh
roof + kefalh` head.] (Paleon.)
An extinct order of amphibians found fossil in the Mesozoic
rocks; called also

plates. Some of the Stegocephala were of very large
size, and the form of the body varied from short, stout
forms to others that were as slender as serpents.
