Kourerpeton
''Kourerpeton'' is an extinct genus of dvinosaurian temnospondyl. Fossils of ''Kourerpeton'' were discovered in a window of a barber's shop in either Bisbee or Mesa, Arizona. ''Kourerpeton'' was named in 1976, with the type and only species being ''K. bradyi''. It was originally assigned to the monotypic family Kourerpetidae, which has been alternatively spelled Kourerpetontidae.
==Age and location==
Because it was not found ''in situ'', the provenance and age of ''Kourerpeton'' is unknown. The fossils are rumored to have been from the Glen Rose Formation near Glen Rose, Texas.〔 Olson and Lammers (1976) discredited this idea because they noted that the Glen Rose Formation is Cretaceous in age, and therefore not a likely source for a temnospondyl.〔 Several studies have claimed that it is Permian or Early Triassic in age. Warren (1999) suggested that ''Kourerpeton'' is from an unknown Guadalupian (Middle Permian) to Early Triassic locality in North America, or possibly even from a locality outside North America. Milner and Sequeira (2004) have proposed that ''Kourerpeton'' may have been from the Early Permian San Angelo Formation in Texas, which has also been the source of the tupilakosaurid ''Slaugenhopia''. The San Angelo Formation is in close proximity to the Glen Rose Formation, occurring in a north-south belt across north-central Texas about west of Glen Rose.〔
