Coloraderpeton is an extinct tetrapodomorph in the genus aïstopod within the family Oestocephalidae.[1][2] Coloraderpeton is known from the Carboniferous Sangre de Cristo Formation of Colorado, and was initially known from vertebrae, ribs, and scales recovered from a UCLA field expedition in 1966. Peter Paul Vaughn described these remains in 1969.[1] A skull was later reported in an unpublished 1983 thesis and formally described by Jason S. Anderson in 2003.[2]
