This salamander was found in Dodd's Creek, which runs along Raven Cliffs Trail in North Georgia. This is in the Blue Ridge region, and so there is a large amount of rocky exposures. The creek itself is filled with rocks and pebbles. I found this specimen peeking out from under a rock in very shallow water, roughly 2-4 cm deep. It had five toes on the hindlegs, which were twice the size of the forelegs, and four in front. The salamander was darkbrown with very distinctive coloration, with a white line running back, diagonally from it's eyes. The body itself was relatively short (4-5 cm) and stout.
