Eopelobates
Extinct genus of amphibians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eopelobates is an extinct genus of frogs in the family Pelobatidae.[2] Closely related to the living European spadefoot toad, it is known from the Eocene of western North America, and the Eocene–Pliocene of Europe. It is suggested that the distribution over both Europe and North America is due to dispersal during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.[3]
