''Dendrerpeton'' is an extinct genus of temnospondyl amphibian from the Carboniferous of Nova Scotia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/carboniferous/joggins.html )〕 They are generally found associated with hollows of the ''Lepidodendron'' and ''Sigillaria'' tree genera, for which their fossils are contained within. These fossils are disarticulated and flattened providing poor specimens. In this species the stapes was used as a support structure for the ear than for hearing as in later tetrapods.〔 The specimens are generally 100 cm, large otic notch in the back of the skull.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.palaeos.com/Vertebrates/Units/160Temnospondyli/100.html#Dendrerpeton )〕 ==References== 〔 *Holmes, R.
