Abstract

This paper describes fossil remains of palaeobatrachid frogs from the Lower Pleistocene of Baturino (south Trans-Ural region) and the lower Pliocene of Rostovka (Western Siberia) localities. The palaeobatrachid remains from Baturino and Rostovka do not show any taxonomically relevant characters and are assigned to Palaeobatrachidae indet. The described remains are the second and youngest occurrence of the family outside Europe. These records show that the geographic distribution of Palaeobatrachidae during the late Cenozoic was much wider than previously known and included an extensive trans-Eurasian area.
