I would like to enter one more Vertebrate fossil I found on Memorial Day May 25, 2015. The fossil is a Middle Pennsylvanian age, Amphibian called Colosteus scutellatus. My fossil is a partial Abdominal front section with Dorsal and Ventral impressions and a nice claw. My specimen is smaller than average, this guy could get pretty big. The fossil comes from the Allegheny Group specifically the Cannel Coal below the Upper Freeport # 7 Coal in Jefferson Co., Ohio. Included is a drawing of what Colosteus may have looked like. Enjoy.
