Arkanserpeton is an extinct genus of dissorophoidtemnospondyl 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.[1] The names Paris Shale and Fort Smith Formation were abandoned, and the rocks that make up this section were placed in the Savanna Formation.[3] It is not considered to be sufficiently diagnostic and was designated as a nomen dubium by Schoch & Milner (2014).
