Apateon pedestris MEYER, 1844 Early Permian Odernheim Rhineland-Palatinate Germany -
Hello everyone, I'm interested in buying this fossil salamander. It is offered as an 'Apateon dracyiensis' found in Autun, France. Is the location possible for this find? And is it possible to narrow the id to 'dracyiensis' or is it best to keep it just as a general 'pedestris'? Size is pretty small, 6 cm at most. I like the piece but... what is it? Thanx for any advice! J

I have three specimens of Apateon fossils in my collection. They are all from the Niederhausen region in Germany. Two of them are supposed to be Apateon pedestris, the third (the litlle fat one) is a Branchiosaurus Petrolei. But, Petrolei is an obsolete name and identical to pedestris, am I correct? Thanx for any feedback.

Hello everyone, I have been looking to do a bit of practice drawing and I thought why don't I try to reconstruct an animal from my fossil collection, I decided Apateon pedestrian should be fairly simple so I went with that. So far I have looked over different fossils and skeletal diagrams and tried to compare them to modern amphibians. One thing from my research that has been very inconclusive though is the skin pattern and texture of the animal. One source states that they had a regular mosaic pattern of scales which is possible considering other temnospondyls but when looking into it more the only thing I could find is another branchiosaurid, Melanerpeton which was found with a pattern on its skin although here it said nothing about scales. Does anyone know where I could find out about what they really did look like, or should I just base it off of what we know about the other branchiosaurid?

Taxonomy from Werneburg 2021. Diagnosis from Werneburg 2021, p. 36ff: "The combination of following characters differs from most other branchiosaurids: (1) Very short maxilla, without contact to short jugal (persisting gap between maxilla and cheek up to adult stage, shared with Schoenfelderpeton). 22 teeth of maxilla are only few more than of premaxilla (16). (2) Parietals elongated and very narrow, like the width of frontals (shared with Schoenfelderpeton, Melanerpeton pusillum, Leptorophus raischi). (3) Prefrontal and postfrontal in contact (shared with Branchiosaurus). (4) Small orbita (shared with Schoenfelderpeton). (5) Wide intraorbital region (IOw/Sl about 0.29-0.37, shared with Branchiosaurus commentryensis, Apateon caducus and A. flagrifer). (6) Tooth base is relatively wide in earliest stage (shared with eryopiformes). (7) Parasphenoid with elongated basal plate and narrow cultriform process in adult stage (shared with Branchiosaurus salamandroides, Schoenfelderpeton, Leptorophus raischi). (8) Choana very wide in adult stage (shared with adult Apateon caducus). (9) Dentary with pleurodont dentition. (10) Hyobranchial skeleton of kontheri-type (shared with Branchiosaurus commentryensis, Apateon kontheri and A. pedestris). (11) Early ossification of exoccipital starting with skull length of 7 mm. Exoccipital relatively high, with a wide shaft, especially wide anteromedial ends and sculpture of longitudinal ridges. (12) Small growing species (shared with both species of Branchiosaurus, Apateon pedestris, A. flagrifer, Melanerpeton pusillum, and M. arnhardti)."
