Description: This is the only salamander (Palaeoplethodon hispaniolae) fossil ever discovered that was preserved in amber, and it was found in an unlikely place - the Dominican Republic, where no salamanders survive today. Note the leg and foot, in lower center of image, that lacks normal toes. (Photo by George Poinar, Jr., courtesy of Oregon State University)
