The carpus (wrist) of fossil frogs is rarely preserved, because it consists of tiny skeletal elements that ossify only during the postmetamorphic life stage. The structure of the carpus is comparatively well-known in the temnospondyl ancestors of the Anura, but its changes during the transition to their anuran descendents are unknown due to the abs...
Lacustrine deposits of Juro-Cretaceous age in northeastern China have yielded some of the best-preserved fossils of early crown salamanders. One of those taxa, Chunerpeton tianyiense, has been considered as a crown or stem member of the family Cryptobranchidae, significant for implying a long evolutionary history for cryptobranchids and for calibra...
Regalerpeton weichangensis was established in 2009 on an incomplete skeleton preserved mainly as an impression from the Lower Cretaceous of Hebei, China. However, several anatomical characters were misinterpreted due to distortion of the holotype, and its taxonomic position has been in debate. In this paper, R. weichangensis is redescribed based on...
