Abstract
A small fossil assemblage from the Upper Eocene (Twiggs Clay) of Twiggs County, Georgia [USA], has yielded a pelobatid frog, 2 large sea snakes (Palaeophis and Pterosphenus) and 2 terrestrial erycinine boids (HUBEROPHIS georgiensis gen. et sp. nov., and Ogmophis voorhiesi n. sp.). Stratigraphy and vertebrate fauna suggest that an estuary on a tropical coastline was the site of deposition of the bones.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
