Howdy all, I've had this salamander vertebra from the Hell Creek Formation for quite some time now, and I was wondering if there would be any way to place an ID. (I've been told it could be either Scapherpeton tectum or Habrosaurus dilatus)

Hi everybody I have been sifting through some micro matrix off of a hadrosaur pubis I have been working on and was hoping to get some ID's. I'll label the specimens by number to aid in responses. The first is this therapod tooth that I was thinking could be dromaeosaurid, possibly Archerorapter because of the ridges on crown but unfortunately the tooth isn't in wonderful shape. The tooth CH: 5mm CBL: 3mm CBW: 1mm and the distal Carina are 10 per mm. There aren't any distal Carina preserved. 1. Next is what I think as a gar dermal plate and the several other pieces like it but with different patterns. The dermal plate 2. The other patterns. 3.4. Next is an odd bone fragment that I haven't the faintest ides of what it is. 5. Probably my best find would have to be this vertebra that I think is a Scapherpeton tectum trunk vertebra that I was beyond thrilled to find. 6. I feel like this next one is a tooth and makes me think gar but is fairly beat up so it might not be identifiable. 7. Here's a fragment of bone that is only diagnostic in the fact that it is hollow. 8. Here's some of what I think are gastropods with a small amount of shell remaining. 9. Here is a curious looking fragment that is only half there but seems to have some enamel? 10. And finally here is what I'm pretty sure is just a fragment of tooth enamel. 11. As always think you for your time and knowledge I look forward to hearing from you.

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

Hi there everyone! Ive got a tricky one today. I came across this listing for a “Trimerorhachis fossil” and I was wondering If y’all would be able to help me properly identify the specimen and possibly identify from what part of the body it comes from. The seller specifies that it was found in the Ryan Formation near Waurika, Oklahoma and claims that the bones belong to a member of the family Trimerorhachidae. Permian fossils are personally some of my favorites, but I’m not completely able to distinguish what this fossil could be. My only guess is that it could be part of the frontal/nostril area of the skull seeing as there’s a cavity at the front and that the eye sockets of the skull point upwards and not forward, but I’m not entirely sure. I’d greatly appreciate any guesses as to what exactly this specimen may be!

This has bugged me for years. It's a small amphibian or reptile ( 8cm long) found at Fossil OR at the high school site. The strata is tuffaceous siltstone famous for leaf impressions. It's part of the John Day formation, oligocene in age. I have read that salamanders are occasionally found there but cannot find any more information as to species or anatomy. I was even wondering if it could be a snake with vestigial femurs. I'm hoping that someone can provide me some specifics so I can finally finish cataloging this specimen.

This is a track of a Carboniferous era salamander from the Union Chapel Mine in Alabama. I forgot the species, but I was told they could get five feet long. I didn't find this track, a member of the Alabama Paleontology Society found it and gave it to me during our visit the mine. I did find one of these, mine isn't as nice looking.

Hi I found this on a walk today, I’m not a fossil hunter but thought it looked interesting. Can anyone give me some idea of when it was formed and what it is? It measures approximately 10” or 26cm long when measured round the rock. Thanks

New specimen of Triassurus and the early evolution of salamanders
DD1991 posted a topic in Fossil News
A new exciting paper regarding early lissamphibian evolution is available online: Rainer R. Schoch; Ralf Werneburg; Sebastian Voigt (2020). A Triassic stem-salamander from Kyrgyzstan and the origin of salamanders. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 117. doi:10.1073/pnas.2001424117. https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/05/05/2001424117 For a long time, a bonafide salamander from the Triassic remained elusive in the fossil record, although the recent description of Chinlestegophis has helped shed light on early caecilian evolution. Triassurus had been assigned to Caudata by Ivakhnenko (1978), but Estes (1981) questioned this placement and viewed it as a larval temnospondyl, while Milner (1994, 2000) noted that Triassurus has a suite of traits that distinguish it from Jurassic salamanders. Now, however, the paper by Schoch et al. confirms the initial placement of Triassurus as a member of Caudata, effectively making that genus the earliest bonafide salamander and filling another gap in the fossil record of early lissamphibians. Additionally, the new specimen of Triassurus happens to further confirm the temnospondyl origin of lissamphibians by sharing physical features with branchiosaurids and amphibamiforms.-

I have for trade miocene salamanders from Bosnia. The images are of lower quality, since they are also more accessible for exchange. I also have other specimens, better quality or natural untreated. My interest are megalodon ( Charcarodon) teeth, miocene fossils ( echinoids, crabs, big gastropod,bivalves) all kind of interesting specimens. Im also interesting for fossils which I could use for compare with european fossils. If you have something interesting please contact me.Thanks!
