AMPHIBIANS.

To date, no amphibian fossils are known from Fossil Butte. They must

have been present, as this class of animals is recorded from Devonian

rocks more than 350 million years old and from rocks younger than those

at Fossil Butte. Living amphibians are typified by frogs, toads, and

salamanders. The lack of amphibian remains at Fossil Butte is more

likely due to nondiscovery than nonexistence.
