Fossilised frog embedded in rock
Fossil frog. Fossilised skeleton of a frog embedded in rock. Frogs and toads first appeared 190-160 million years ago in the early Jurassic Period. Their body shape has changed little since then, and most of the current frog families are geologically ancient. This lack of change makes modern frogs " living fossils"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fossilized frog embedded in rock, offering us a glimpse into the ancient world of these fascinating creatures. Belonging to the early Jurassic Period, which dates back 190-160 million years ago, this well-preserved skeleton serves as evidence of frogs and toads' existence during that era. What makes this discovery even more intriguing is the fact that frogs have undergone minimal changes in their body shape since then. This evolutionary stasis has earned them the title of "living fossils" as they have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years. It is astonishing to think that most modern frog families can be traced back to such geologically ancient times. The intricate details preserved within this fossil provide valuable insights into the anatomy and biology of these prehistoric amphibians. As we examine this relic from our distant past, we are reminded of how little we truly know about Earth's history and its diverse inhabitants. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment frozen in time with this photograph. It serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with paleontology and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about life on our planet throughout different eras.
