Notobatrachus is an extinct genus of frog from the Lower Jurassic Cañadon Asfalto Formation, Cañadón Asfalto Basin and Middle Jurassic La Matilde Formation, Deseado Massif of Patagonia, Argentina.[2] N. degiustoi is the most completely known Jurassic frog and has been recorded in many outcrops of the La Matilde Formation of the Deseado Massif in southern Patagonia.[3]
Description[]
Most of the specimens of N. degiustoi are postmetamorphic individuals, snout-vent length between 90 and 150 millimetres (3.5 and 5.9 in). CPBA-V-14003 consists of disarticulated cranial and postcranial elements, and may correspond either to a late metamorphosing tadpole or an early postmetamorphic individual.[4]
