摘要: Abstract The Miocene gecko in amber, Sphaerodactylus dommeli, is one of the best-preserved fossil gekkotan species; nonetheless, its identity has been ques-tioned and it insinuated to be an iguanian referable mega-diverse genus Anolis. In this paper, we provide digital X‐rays new osteo-logical evidence that include 11 characters reaffirms placement within infraorder Gekkota eight specifically place thisfossil species-rich Sphaerodactylus, which was originally described. This contribution seeks eliminate remaining scepticismabout generic allocation species, a reliable calibration point for ongoing research squamate phylogenetics, especially forbiogeographical studies molecular dating inference. also reviews many diagnostic two genera question,which critical correct identification amber-embedded specimens representing rich Hispaniolan lizard paleocommunity.Key words: Fossil – Anolis osteology anatomy Domincan Republic
