Abstract: Pelophylax sp. Figure 22 A-D Material. Hambach 6C: two ilia (IPB-HaH 2307, IPB-HaH 2387). Description. These rather large and moderately preserved ilia have a well-developed and almost vertical dorsal tubercle, which is continued anteriorly by a high dorsal crest. The dorsal acetabular expansion is moderately short. The angle comprised between the latter and the tubercle approaches 90°. A shallow supraacetabular fossa is present. The medial surface of the ilial body is flat, without interiliac groove. The shape of the ilioischiatic juncture cannot be clearly described due to preservational reasons. Remarks. Identification of these ilia as pertaining to green frogs is supported by (Bailon, 1999): high dorsal crest; well-developed dorsal tubercle; and angle comprised between the tubercle and the dorsal acetabular expansion equals 90°. Specific identification of green frogs is possible only with a population-sized amount of ilia (Blain et al., 2015).
