The remains of an embolomerous amphibian, Carbonoherpeton canolli, gen. et sp. n., were found in an upright Sigillaria stump from the Westphalian D of Florence, Nova Scotia. Carbonoherpeton is similar in most features of the skeleton to Palaeoherpeton, Proterogyrinus, Eogyrinus and Archeria. The configuration of the orbit and the more gracile femur indicate, however, that this material represents a distinct genus. Carbonoherpeton exhibits a mosaic of features previously thought to be distinctive of either eogyrinids or archeriids. Family assignment of this new genus awaits more detailed study of Archeria.
