A New Order of Fishlike Amphibia From the Pennsylvanian of Kansas

A New Order of Fishlike Amphibia by Peggy Lou Stewart is about a new species of amphibian in Kansas. This scientific essay explains the physical characteristics and fishlike qualities of this newfound species. Excerpt: “A slab of shale obtained in 1955 by Mr. Russell R. Camp from a Pennsylvanian lagoon deposit in Anderson County, Kansas, has yielded in the laboratory a skeleton of the small amphibian Hesperoherpeton garnettense Peabody (1958). This skeleton provides new and surprising information not available from the holotype, No. 9976 K. U., which consisted only of a scapulocoracoid, neural arch, and rib fragment.”
