Best Answer

Acanthostega was (were?) the first tetrapods that were able to go on ground, so they could be considered the first amphibians. They originated 365 million years ago.

- ..."were"... they originated in the late Devonian Period in the Paleozoic Era 365 million years ago. Hope that helps! :)

the first amphibians were the Temnospondyls. They were long-headed amphibians with a sprawling gait and distinctive look. the early temnospondyls were the size of large fish. they had stubby feet, and probably couldn't move very fast.
