Temnospondyli Fossil First and Last Appearance Dates

Published on figshare by Kim Julia Kean on 2026-05-15. The dataset appears to be supplementary material for a study on skull bone loss in tetrapod evolution. It likely contains first and last appearance dates (FADs and LADs) for Temnospondyli fossils.
