“…3A). As this kind of trace is often associated with Batrachichnus tracks (Haubold, 1970(Haubold, , 1996Haubold et al, 1995;Voigt et al, 2011a;Petti et al, 2014), it is reasonable that they have been made by the same kind of animals as the walking traces. Batrachichnus is consensually considered to be the tracks of small to medium-sized temnospondyls (Haubold, 1971(Haubold, , 1996(Haubold, , 2000Gand, 1988;Lucas et al, 2005;Voigt et al, 2011a).…”

“…Because of the observed difference in manual digit proportions and the remarkable differences in track size we suggest a separation of Batrachichnus and Limnopus from the Peranera Formation. However, it should be stated that the ichnotaxonomic separation of Batrachichnus and Limnopus has been a long lasting and not yet readily resolved issue (Haubold, 1996;Tucker and Smith, 2004;Voigt et al, 2011aVoigt et al, , 2011b.…”

“…Much progress has been made in the understanding of captorhinomorph tracks during the last years triggered by numerous related finds in Early Permian deposits of the United States, Morocco, and Italy Lucas, 2001, 2003;Lucas and Spielmann, 2009;Voigt et al, 2010Voigt et al, , 2011aMarchetti, 2014;Marchetti et al, 2014). In view of this new situation it seems appropriate to reconsider the taxonomic composition of the tetrapod ichnofauna of the Peranera Formation based on our observations and collections.…”

The Carboniferous-Permian terrestrial successions record a global climatic shift from icehouse to hothouse conditions. Our multidisciplinary study documents an aridification trend throughout the ~1000 m thick composite terrestrial succession of the western Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula), representing this time period. The detailed stratigraphic framework integrates sedimentology, paleopedology, biochronology (plant 2 fossils and tetrapod footprints) and geochronology (paleomagnetism). Additional absolute age correlation is also carried out. The new and reviewed data show that the late Carboniferous wet environments (with short drought periods) progressively changed to a strong seasonal semi-arid and arid climate (with short humid periods) through the early Permian. This paleoclimatic trend supports the previously suggested aridification of the Pangean pan-tropical belt, and supports the hypothesis of the influence of the recurrent climatic fluctuations in Central Pangea, being tentatively correlated to the Southern Gondwanan glaciation-deglaciation periods. Therefore, the Carboniferous-Permian terrestrial succession from the Catalan Pyrenees emerges as a continuous record that can help to constrain late Paleozoic paleoenvironmental events.

Abstract:The late Cisuralian (Artinskian-Kungurian) is a key time interval for Permian tetrapod evolution. In all the main low-latitude Pangean sites, the fossil footprint record clearly shows a diversification and dispersal of non-synapsid amniote tracks compared to the early Cisuralian (AsselianSakmarian). However, data on latest Cisuralian (i.e. late Kungurian) sites are quite fragmentary. A new ichnotaxonomic study was carried out in the central part of the Orobic Basin, where the highly-fossiliferous Pizzo del Diavolo formation crops out and can potentially cover this gap in knowledge. The following tetrapod ichnogenera were identified: Amphisauropus, Batrachichnus, cf. Dimetropus, Dromopus, Erpetopus, Hyloidichnus, Limnopus, cf. Merifontichnus and Varanopus; they can be attributed to seymouriamorph and temnospondyl amphibians; pelycosaur synapsids; and diapsid, parareptile and captorhinid reptiles. Dimetropus and Merifontichnus are identified for the first time in the Permian of Italy. The ichnoassociation, in agreement with the radiometric dating of the underlying Cabianca formation, suggests a late Kungurian (latest Cisuralian) age for the Pizzo del Diavolo formation. It includes the youngest and most diverse non-synapsid amniote ichnofauna of the Cisuralian with five different ichnogenera and possibly six ichnospecies, and thus constitutes a key area for the study of eureptile and parareptile dispersal at low latitudes of Pangaea in the time span that immediately pre-dates the first therapsid synapsid radiation.
