The length is 50 cm (20 inches). There is an eardrum, no lateral line and gills. The generic name is given at the site of the first find, the Bathgate Hills formation in Scotland. Fossils were found in the fence of the field, in stone from the East Kirkton quarry. Later, in the same quarry, other fossils of terrestrial tetrapods were found, among which balanerpeton is most common.
