We here present a thorough documentation of the vertebral morphology and intracolumnar
variation across non-caenophidian snakes. Our studied sample of multiple individuals …

Large constrictor snakes, referred to the genera Palaeopython and Paleryx, are an
ecologically prominent part of the fauna of Europe during the Paleogene. Most species were …

We herein describe the fossil amphibians and reptiles from the Neogene (latest Miocene or
earliest Pliocene; MN 13/14) locality of Maramena, in northern Greece. The herpetofauna is …

The main features of today's Eurasian snake fauna were assembled during the Miocene (~
23–5 Ma), and so this epoch is critical for understanding the origins and early evolution of …

Abstract Background The earliest Miocene (Aquitanian) represents a crucial time interval in
the evolution of European squamates (ie, lizards and snakes), witnessing a high diversity of …

The disjunct geographical range of many lineages of caudates points to a complex
evolutionary and biogeographic history that cannot be disentangled by only considering the …

Herein, we revise the material of the extinct taxon Pseudopus pannonicus from Central
Europe, the largest known anguid lizard and iconic member of herpetofaunas from the …

The present study describes a rich amphibian and reptilian assemblage from the early
Miocene locality Echzell, Germany. It consists of one allocaudate, five salamander, five frog …

We here report on new material of Pseudopus pannonicus, the iconic and largest-known
representative of the lizard clade Anguinae, from several late Neogene localities across …

We here describe fossil remains from three Lower and Middle Miocene localities of Anatolia,
which we tentatively refer to chamaeleonids. The material comprises isolated tooth-bearing …
