here are some of my small amphibian individuals called Apateon or Branchiosaurus.

They had been found in Rhineland- Pallatinate, Germany, when the digging was allowed. All specimen had been found before 1986 in different locations but all are permian age:

Beautiful find and prep! I've heard of apateon, always wanted one but they are virtually absent on the market (and I assume if they were for sale it would be out of my price range). Again Great finds!

Happy hunting,
