Beelzebufo
Beelzebufo ( or ) (meaning "devil toad") is an extinct genus of hyloid frog from the Late Cretaceous Berivotra and Maevarano Formations, approximately 70 million years ago in what is now Madagascar. The type species is B. ampinga, and common names assigned by the popular media to it include devil frog, devil toad, and the frog from hell.
Czatkobatrachus
Czatkobatrachus is an extinct genus of Early Triassic (Olenekian) salientian amphibians. It was first described in 1998 based on fossils found in the 1 quarry in Poland. It is, with Triadobatrachus, one of the two oldest known lissamphibians. More precisely, it is a member of Salientia; it is related to, but outside Anura, the taxon that includes all extant frogs. It is known only from the early Triassic of Poland. Its vertebral column may have been short as in other salientians, but the exact count is unknown. It had a short tail, and an elongated ilium. Although based on isolated and disarti
Rubricacaecilia
Rubricacaecilia ("Red Earth Caecilian") is an extinct genus of caecilian (limbless amphibian) from the Berriasian aged Ksar Metlili Formation in Morocco. The genus contains a single species, Rubricacaecilia monbaroni, Named for geologist M. monbaron. It is known from a nearly complete pseudodentary bone, several fragmentary pseudodentaries, a partial pseudangular, a partial palatine, an atlas, and vertebrae.
Anoualerpeton
Anoualerpeton is an extinct genus of lissamphibian in the family Albanerpetontidae. It is the oldest and most primitive albanerpetontid known. Fossils have been found of two different species, Anoualerpeton priscus from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) aged Forest Marble and Kilmaluag formations of England and Scotland, and Anoualerpeton unicus from Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (Tithonian-Berriasian) Ksar Metlili Formation of Morocco. A. unicus is the only named albanerpetontid from Gondwana.
Osmolskina
Osmolskina is a genus of archosauriform reptile which lived during the Early Triassic in what is now Poland. The type species, Osmolskina czatkowicensis, was described by Magdalena Borsuk−Białynicka and Susan Evans in 2003. The generic name honors the late female Polish paleontologist Halszka Osmólska. ==Resemblance to Euparkeria== Osmolskina closely resembles the well-known genus Euparkeria. The authors of the 2003 paper considered classifying Osmolskina within the family Euparkeriidae, noting the animal's close resemblance to Euparkeria, but concluded that "Euparkeriidae remains monotypic be
Celtedens
Celtedens is an extinct genus of albanerpetontid amphibian from the Early Cretaceous of England, Spain, Sweden and Italy, and the Late Jurassic of Portugal.
Asprosaurus
Asprosaurus () is an extinct genus of anguimorph lizard from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) of South Korea. The genus contains a single species, A. bibongriensis, which is the first Mesozoic lizard to have been discovered on the Korean peninsula. Initially classified as a possible monstersaurian, Asprosaurus has been subsequently suggested to be a probable mosasauroid, an extinct group of marine lizards during the Late Cretaceous.
Marmorerpeton
Marmorerpeton is an extinct genus of prehistoric stem group-salamanders from the Middle Jurassic of the United Kingdom. They are among the oldest known salamanders.
Pangerpeton
Pangerpeton is an extinct genus of salamanders. Its monotypic species is Pangerpeton sinensis.
Parviraptor
Parviraptor () is a genus of reptiles in the enigmatic family Parviraptoridae. It contains one species, Parviraptor estesi, known from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) or Early Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Limestone Formation of Dorset, England. A second species, Parviraptor gilmorei, was described from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of Western North America, but it was subsequently transferred to the separate genus Diablophis. An indeterminate species is known from the Bathonian aged Kirtlington Mammal Bed (Kilmaluag Formation, Scotland).
Yaksha perettii
species of amphibian (fossil)
Retinosaurus
Retinosaurus (meaning "amber lizard") is an extinct genus of scincomorph lizard from the Early Cretaceous of Myanmar. The genus contains a single species, Retinosaurus hkamtiensis, known from a specimen preserved in amber.
