Sinerpeton is an extinct genus of salamander from the Late Jurassic of China.[2] It is monotypic and consists of one species, S. fengshanense.[2][1]
Sinerpeton was recovered from Late Jurassic (Tithonian) fossil beds in Fengshan, China, which overlay the Zhangjiakou Formation.[2] The type species was originally named S. fengshanensis, though was later amended to the proper S. fengshanense.[1]
