Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Diagnosis from Gaudant 1997, p. 9 (translated from french by oilshale):"Tench with scalloped caudal fin whose length of the axial lepidotriches equals approximately 2/3 of the length of the longest rays of each lobe. Spinal column composed of 36 to 39 vertebrae. Body covered with large cycloid scales of oval shape." Identified by oilshale using Gaudant 1997. References: Weiler, W.

Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Diagnosis from Gaudant 1997, p. 23 (translated from french by oilshale):"Perches that differ from the present species Perca fluviatilis L. by their sagitta possessing a relatively massive rostrum with a rounded anterior end, by the composition of the posterior dorsal fin which has 11 to 13 lepidotriches, whereas Perca fluviatilis L. generally has 13 to 16, and finally by the smaller size of their scales, the number of which can be estimated at about 65 to 80 along the lateral line, whereas it is 60 to 70 in Perca fluviatilis L." Identified by oilshale using Gaudant 1997. References: Weiler, W. (1933) Die Fischreste aus dem Oberpliocän von Willershausen. Arch. Hydrobiol. 25. p. 291-304.

Taxonomy from GBIF.org. Diagnosis by Špinar 1980, p. 5 (translated from German by oilshale): "Medium to large frog (see Table 5). The species is characterized by following characteristics: 1. small skull in the shape of a Gothic arch. Its length is not quite 1/5 of the body length (in the species Rana temporaria almost 1/4 of the body length). 2. ossa fronto-parietalia orocaudally elongated with concurrent edges on thesurface of bone; mutually trough-shaped incurved and caudally broadened. 3. pars medialis ossis nasalis broad, irregularly triangular, process laterahs of same bone long. 4. maxilla toothed up to 2/3 of its length. 5. maxillary arch complete; processus frontalis of maxillary short, broad, truncated; lateral process not reaching nasal. 6. quadratojugals long. 7. Vertebral column long, consisting of 9 long, mostly procoelous vertebrae. Ribs absent. They are fused with processus transversi. 8. processus transversus of 3rd vertebra most directed laterocaudally. 9. processus transversus of sacral vertebra cylindrical, narrow, forming an angle of 35-42° with transverse plane. 10. urostylus conspicuously narrow, long, rod-shaped, with 2 articular pits on the proximal end. 11. shoulder girdle firmistern. 12. cleithrum well ossified, broad; margo scapularis and margo caudalis forming an angle of about 31 -32°. 13. scapula broad, strong, even broader to margo cleithralis. 14. ilium with low, bean-shaped tuber superius, as well as low, long crest (crista ossis ischii). 15. femur shorter than os cruris. Total length of both bones less than length of body - measured from oral end of intermaxillare to the caudal end of the ischium. 16. calcaneus bent through on the tibial side. 17. webbing between toes of hind foot well developed. In the 4th toe it extends to middle of 3rd phalanx. 18. hind limbs conspicuously dark striped." Identified by oilshale. References: Špinar, Z. V.

Agriopis leucophaearia foss. ([DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775) Forewing Upper Pliocene Willershausen am Harz Germany The determination may be a bit shaky, but in my opinion size and weakly recognizable color pattern fit well to that of the recent form Agriopis leucophaearia ([DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775).
