Carpus in Mesozoic anurans: The Early Cretaceous anuran Genibatrachus from northeastern China

Zbynek Rocek et al.

Summary: The carpus (wrist) of fossil frogs is rarely preserved due to its small skeletal elements ossifying only postmetamorphosis. The structure of the carpus is well-known in temnospondyl ancestors, but its changes during the transition to anuran descendents are unknown. The Early Cretaceous Genibatrachus from northeastern China provides valuable information to bridge the gap in the evolutionary sequence of the carpus between temnospondyl amphibians and modern frogs.

The exceptionally preserved Early Cretaceous Moqi Fauna from eastern Inner Mongolia, China, and its age relationship with the Jehol Biota

Zhiqiang Yu et al.

Summary: New fossil-bearing horizons at the Moqi fossil bed in eastern Inner Mongolia provide insights into the evolution and diversification of vertebrate clades, such as frogs and salamanders, during the Early Cretaceous. A chronology of the Moqi fossil bed was established using SIMS and high-precision CA-ID-IRMS U-Pb zircon analyses, indicating an age range of approximately 119.20 Ma to 118.67 Ma for the Moqi Fauna. Comparison with other well-known biotas suggests a potential link between the Moqi Fauna and the Jehol Biota.

Developmental dynamics of two closely related species Bombina bombina and B. variegata (Amphibia: Anura) in the context of their fossil evidence

Zbynek Rocek et al.

Summary: The available fossil record of Bombina suggests that the genus appeared at the beginning of the Miocene. Fossils of B. variegata from the Early Pleistocene show slight skeletal developmental retardation compared to B. bombina, indicating differentiation before the Middle Pleistocene continental glaciations. This developmental retardation leads to the emergence of differential characteristics, more noticeable in fully grown adults.

A new genus of fossil frog (Anura) from tower Cretaceous deposits in South America

Pedro Henrique A. G. Moura et al.

Summary: This passage describes a new neobatrachian taxon from the Crato Formation in northeastern Brazil and the phylogenetic analysis conducted to assess its higher-level relationships, finding it nested in the Glade Hyloidea and highlighting the value of the Crato Formation as a Laggerstatte.
