Abstract

Well-preserved skull, pectoral girdle, limb and vertebral elements of an Eryops specimen have been found in a roadcut near Sutton, Braxton County, West Virginia. The amphibian remains occurred in a green siltstone of unquestionable mid-Conemaugh age. Taxonomic difficulties involving the genus Glaukerpeton Romer and speciation within the genus Eryops are briefly discussed. The material has been deposited at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
