    300-million-year-old amphibian with scaled tail - new clue in evolution

    A diadectid was an amphibian that lived 300 million years ago in the area of today's Sudetes. Scientists have found a trace of its tail, on which they noticed rows of scales - like those of reptiles. The discovery suggests that the scales that helped animals enter and conquer the land evolved earlier than previously thought.
