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

Taxonomy from Poplin & Dutheil 2005 Diagnosis for the genus from Poplin & Dutheil 2005, p. 21 (translated from French by oilshale): "Aeduellidae with very high head and body, dorsal contour of body evenly rounded: Ratio of total length to maximum height = 2.25. Accordingly: Mouth and maxilla short, preoperculum and opercular apparatus vertical, cleithrum high and short, body laterally flattened, ventral lobe of caudal fin elongate and lateral flank scales higher than others. Orbit smaller than in other Aeduellidae. Dermosphaenoticus touching nasalia. Canal supraorbitalis penetrating dermopteroticus in form of pit line. Postero-inferior angle of maxilla not conspicuous. Suture between operculum and suboperculum straight. Probably only one branchiostegus ray. Mandible high along entire length. Dorsal fin inserted posteriorly. Base of anal fin terminating near caudal fin." Line drawing from Poplin & Dutheil 2005, p. 19 (scale 2 cm): Identified by oilshale. References: Poplin C. & Dutheil D.
