Deltavjatia was a

Vyatka River. Since then, numerous mostly complete skeletons have been found, many of them being so well preserved due to the silty, anaerobic environment of the Kotelnich deposits that fossilised white blood cells are able to be distinguished in them.[6] Analyses of the bone histology of Deltavjatia show that they grew very rapidly during the early stages of their ontogeny but that their growth rate drastically slowed down once they reached approximately half of their full body size.[7]

Restoration

Deltavjatia was placed as a

Pareiasauridae by M.S.Y. Lee in 1997.[5]
