Notobatrachus is an extinct genus of frog from the middle Jurassic Cañadon Asfalto Formation of northern Patagonia, Argentina.[1] N. degiustoi is the most completely known Jurassic frog and has been recorded in many outcrops of the La Matilde Formation of the Deseado Massif area in southern Patagonia.[2] Most of the specimens of N. degiustoi are postmetamorphic individuals, snout-vent length between 90 mm and 150 mm. CPBA-V-14003 consists of disarticulated cranial and postcranial elements, and may correspond either to a late metamorphosing tadpole or an early postmetamorphic individual.[3]
