Abstract

Amphibia from the Late Oligocene (MP 28) locality Enspel (Germany) are represented by two caudates and three different types of anurans (palaeobatrachids, pelobatids and ranids). Besides these adults, however, there is a comparative large series of tadpoles whose assignment to the Pelobatidae is clearly evidenced by tripartite frontoparietal complex.
