Lot 907
Three Primitive Amphibians. Discosauriscus pulcmerismus was an early 260 million year old amphibian unrelated to modern amphibians that somewhat resembled a salamander with a huge head and scaly and rough skin. Discosauriscus was an active predator in lakes and shallow pools. The two specimens on this 13X11 inch plate feature one 8 inch long specimen from the ventral position showing rows of small sharp teeth and one 7 inch specimen with a dorsal view showing the solid bony skull. Also, on the same slab is a ventral view 6 inch long Microperpetron amphibian also showing some teeth. It is rare to find even one amphibian specimen but finding three on one plate is exceptionally rare. These museum quality specimens were found in a quarry near Letovice in the Czech Republic.
Estimated Value $2,750 - 3,750.
