Oldest North American amphibian found in Pennsylvania
A 368 million year old fossil fragment from Clinton County Pa marks the oldest North American amphibian and a potential ancestor of all land vertebrates. Scientists say the robust shoulder bone indicates powerful musculature and walking capability, linking fish to land dwellers. The creature, about three feet long, may have breathed gills and later developed lungs, legs, and land mobility while avoiding predators.
