Squamates first appeared in Europe in the Middle Jurassic. They were lizards that already
included some crown-group members. Faunas of the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous …

Lizards were and still are an important component of the European herpetofauna. The
modern European lizard fauna started to set up in the Miocene and a rich fossil record is …

Gekkota is often interpreted as sister to all remaining squamates, exclusive of dibamids, or
as sister to Autarchoglossa. It is the only diverse lineage of primarily nocturnal lizards and …

Squamate faunas from the MN 1–3 interval (earliest Miocene) are poorly known in Europe
and worldwide. Our research brings the first report on a complete squamate fauna from the …

Abstract Background The earliest Miocene (Aquitanian) represents a crucial time interval in
the evolution of European squamates (ie, lizards and snakes), witnessing a high diversity of …

Three species of the genus Pseudopus are recognized in the Cenozoic of Eurasia: P.
laurillardi (early–middle Miocene of Europe), P. pannonicus (late Miocene–middle …

Squamate faunas from the MN 1–3 intervals (earliest Miocene) are scarcely documented
from the European continent. I here describe squamate faunas from two French localities …

Gekkota (geckos and pygopods) constitute a diverse and early diverging clade of
squamates, but their highly fragmentary fossil record allows only limited insights into their …

The present study describes a rich amphibian and reptilian assemblage from the early
Miocene locality Echzell, Germany. It consists of one allocaudate, five salamander, five frog …

The lacertid material from the locality of Herrlingen 8 (upper Oligocene, MP28) is described
as a new species of the genus Plesiolacerta. The material is disarticulated and comprises …
