Anurans are represented by two forms of the genus Palaeobatrachus, one of which is nearly as large as P. gigas (now synonymized with P. grandipes). Pelobates cf. decheni, represented in this locality by three adult skeletons and a large number of tadpoles, is the earliest record for the genus. Ranidae are represented by two rather fragmentary and incomplete skeletons referred to as Rana sp. A comparatively large series of tadpoles was assigned to the Pelobatidae on the basis of tripartite frontoparietal complex. Most of them are premetamorphic larvae and a few older ones are postmetamorphic. One specimen is a large premetamorphic tadpole (no rudimentary limbs) with a total body length of 147 mm.
