Reptilia indet., medial gastralium, 49/LMK
—
A partially preserved medial gastralium from an indeterminate Triassic reptile. It is a V-shaped dermal bone resembling a rib and forming part of the gastral basket—a cage or basket-like structure protecting the organs ventrally.
-
Eosauropterygia indet., ilium, 45/LMK
—
A specimen of a well-preserved ilium (hip bone) from a Triassic marine reptile belonging most probably to the Eosauropterygia.

Ichthyosauria indet. (cf. Mixosauridae), anterior caudal? vertebra centrum, 43/LMK
Ichthyosauria indet. (cf. Mixosauridae) Middle Triassic, Lower Gogolin Beds, Upper Silesia, Poland A vertebral centrum of a small marine reptile, likely a member of the Mixosauridae—early ichthyosaurs known from the Triassic. The centrum is short, disc-shaped, subhexagonal in outline, and tapering upward. The articular surfaces of the centrum are strongly amphicoelous. Dorsally, the floor of…

Ichthyosauria indet. (cf. Mixosauridae), distal caudal vertebra centrum, 42/LMK
A well-preserved specimen of the distal caudal vertebra centrum of a small ichthyosaur. In Middle Triassic sediments of Upper Silesia, finds associated with ichthyosaurs are significantly rarer than those of representatives of other groups of marine reptiles.
-
Saurosphargis sp., dorsal vertebra, 41/LMK
The specimen is a large, but unfortunately incomplete, vertebra of a Middle Triassic marine reptile. The morphology of the vertebra is consistent with dorsal vertebrae of Saurosphargis sp. reported in the literature
-
Reptilia indet. medial gastralium, 40/LMK
Fragment of a medial abdominal rib (gastralium) of an indetermined reptile. The central process and a significant part of both distal portions are preserved.
-
Eosauropterygia indet. (cf. Nothosaurus), caudal rib, 39/LMK
—
The specimen is a well-preserved isolated caudal rib belonging to a member of the clade Eosauropterygia, likely Nothosauridae (cf. Nothosaurus).
-
Eosauropterygia indet. cf. Nothosaurus, dorsal neural arch, 38/LMK
A well-preserved neural arch of an indeterminate member of Eosauropterygia from the Lower Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic–Anisian). Despite a damaged/missing neural spine, it clearly displays characteristic features of the dorsal vertebrae. The specimen also presents an interesting taphonomic puzzle.
-
Eosauropterygia indet. cf. Nothosaurus, cervical vertebra centrum, 37/LMK
The specimen is a very well-preserved cervical vertebral centrum of an unidentified Middle Triassic aquatic reptile belonging to the clade Eosauropterygia.
-
Eosauropterygia indet., ischium, 35/LMK
—
The presented specimen is an ischium of an unidentified Eosauropterygia. The ischium is a bone that forms part of the pelvic girdle.
