Arkanserpeton is an extinct genus of dissorophoid temnospondyl represented by a fragmentary isolated femur[1] and an isolated neural arch.[2] The specimens were reported from a semianthracite coal bed from the Paris Shale.[3] The names Paris Shale and Fort Smith Formation were abandoned, and the rocks that make up this section were placed in the Savanna Formation.[4] It is not considered to be sufficiently diagnostic and was designated as a nomen dubium by Schoch & Milner (2014).
