Back to school: temno superlatives

9/3/2019

 
To kick off the back to school season, this week's post is a random assemblage of temnospondyl superlatives, some more informative than others!

Oldest temnospondyl
The oldest fossil of a temnospondyl that's referred to a particular genus is Balanerpeton woodi, from the Mississippean of Scotland (Milner & Sequeira, 1994). Balanerpeton is within the temnospondyl family Dendrerpetidae, which includes the slightly younger Dendrerpeton and Dendrysekos from the Joggins Fossil Cliffs in Nova Scotia. Werneburg et al. (2019) recently reported some fragmentary temnospondyl bits from the same time interval in Germany. This material could only be tentatively identified as a possible dvinosaur.
