Fossil Branchiosaurid Amphibian 2.4" Permian Odernheim Germany COA 6000

Description: Welcome to Pioneer Fossils! A Certificate of Authenticity, which has a photo on it of the exact item you purchased, will accompany the specimen. Here is a genuine fossil of an amphibian from a very long time ago. It is a Branchiosaurid amphibian called Apateon pedestris. It lived in the Permian age, about 290 million years ago, long before the first dinosaurs. From the Pfalz Formation of Odernheim, Germany. The animal itself is about 2.4" Actually, many of these are under 2 inches, some about 1 inch. The plate itself is about 5" by 3.2" (varies). It weighs 5.6 oz. This specimen normally shows the skull and the vertebrae. This one has a skull, vertebral column, limbs, and some soft-bodied preservation. It has been coated with a sealant to preserve it, as they are fossilized as a thin carbon-film. These specimens of branchiosaurids nearly always have cracks in the very thin shale, and this one is no exception. The front shows a repaired crack, but is still really a nice presentation. The back side shows some of the paleo glue used to put it together. Again, this is how these fossils generally have to be repaired. The Pflaz region where this was found has been closed to collecting for decades. This is from an old collection. For this reason, the number of these fossils available is decreasing. Apateon pedestris is thought to have been one of the first animals to have crawled onto land. It was also a precursor of salamanders.
