Sclerocephalus Amphibian Larvae Stages. Even though the earliest amphibians ventured forth on land, they still deposited their eggs and the hatching larvae went through all of their developmental stages in the water. This set of five 280 million year old fossils of Screrocephalus represents the four stages in the development of the larvae from long thin tadpole like animals with no legs but visible skin and eyes to a 2 inch long transitional animal still possessing gills with short tiny legs to a 5.5 inch long complete amphibian. These rare fossils come from a site that is now closed in Odernheim Pfatz, Germany. All five of these fossils are displayed in a 12 x 8 inch Riker Mount.
