Extinct genus of lizards
Yantarogekko is an extinct genus of gecko known from a single specimen found in Baltic amber from the Eocene Prussian Formation of Kaliningrad, Russia.[1] The remains consist of the anterior half of a body with partially preserved limbs (including preserved toe pads on one limb), lacking a skeleton.[2] While considered in its initial description to be a member of the family Gekkonidae,[1] the limited nature of known remains combined with its morphology not closely resembling any living family of geckos make it impossible to assign it any more precisely than Gekkonoidea.[3]
