Palaeoecology Biogeochemical analysis of
Eopelobates wagneri from the
Messel Formation shows that it was a
tertiary consumer based on it
δ15N values. This is consistent with observed fossil evidence of it feeding on
lizards, which have been preserved in the
bromalites of this
Eopelobates species.
Palaeobiogeography It is suggested that the distribution over both Europe and North America is due to dispersal during the
Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. == References ==
