Permian Amphibian Trackway Fossil from France

Description: This mudstone ichnofossil is from a location in France famous for its amphibian trackways. While it is difficult to definitively ascribe tracks to a specific animal, tracks of this type from the region have been named Salichnium decessus and are believed to have probably been made by Microsaurian Pantylus, a predatory, amphibious reptile.. This plate has four tracks, three of which show the digits. Imagine this creature ambling across a muddy lake side hundreds of millions of years ago.
