An unusual claw/hand/foot

[FF7_Yuffie]

Hi

 

Would love some thoughts on this. Not the best condition, but unusual. A fossil hand.

 

7cm long from.end to tip

From a place called Aronqi, Neimemgu Province (Inner Mongolia) Jehol Biota. Arongqi is also called Arun Banner. 

 

The long finger is curious. I thought amphibian-- could it be frog foot?

 

Thanks as always

Probably the frog Genibatrachus baoshanensis. The preservation and the rock look very much like material from Taipingqiao village in Morin Dawa Daur Autonomous Banner, Inner Mongolia.

Thanks very much. I googled and Autonomous Banner looks like its another name for Arun Banner.

 

Glad to have it confirmed as a frog.

 

Cheers
