Placodontia indet., ?premaxilla fragment, LMK/34
—
The specimen is a probable fragment of the premaxilla with a preserved tooth belonging to an indeterminate reptile of the Placodontia.

Sauropterygia indet., girdle element (?coracoid), LMK/33
—
The specimen is a bone fragment from an unidentified Middle Triassic Sauropterygia. The fragment is a flat bone with a rounded edge. Cross-sections reveal that the right side of the bone is thicker and tapers toward the left.

Eosauropterygia indet. cf. Nothosaurus, neural arch, LMK/32
Eosauropterygia indet. cf. Nothosaurus Middle Triassic, Lower Muschelkalk (Anisian), Gogolin Beds The specimen represents an isolated neural arch referable to an indeterminate eosauropterygian. The specimen is visible from the dorsal side while the ventral side is still embedded in the matrix. The measured length is approximately 23 mm and the width is approximately 27 mm. The…

Eosauropterygia indet. cf. Nothosaurus, cervical vertebra, LMK/31
Eosauropterygia indet. cf Nothosaurus Middle Triassic, Lower Muschelkalk (Anisian), Gogolin Beds A nearly complete cervical vertebra (centrum and neural arch preserved) of an indeterminate Sauropterygia from the Lower Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic, Anisian) of Upper Silesia. The specimen consists of a complete, well-preserved centrum and a neural arch partially damaged by erosion. The centrum is approximately 13…

Sauropterygia indet. cf. Pachypleurosauria, pubis, 30/LMK
—
A specimen of a small, isolated pubic bone (pubis), likely from a small reptile belonging to the Pachypleurosauria. Upper Röt or Lower Muschelkalk (Anisian), Upper Silesia, Poland.
-
Archosauriformes indet., tooth, 27/LMK
—
Tooth crown of an indeterminate archosauromorph from the Middle Triassic of Upper Silesia, Poland. Serrated, ziphodont morphology consistent with terrestrial or semi-aquatic predatory reptiles.
-
Placodontia indet., vertebra centrum, 26/LMK
Vertebral centrum of an indeterminate placodont from the Lower Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic) of Upper Silesia, Poland. Despite abrasion, the specimen preserves features typical of placodont vertebrae, including clearly amphicoelous articular surfaces.

Sauropterygia indet., ?dorsal vertebra, 25/LMK?
Sauropterygia indet. Dating uncertain – Upper Röt or Lower Muschelkalk (Anisian) Upper Silesia, Poland This is a beautiful vertebral specimen, interesting for at least several reasons. Despite erosion, this nearly complete vertebra provides an excellent illustration of vertebral morphology. The preserved features and processes appear consistent with the general anatomy of Sauropterygia (Nothosaurus sp. for example).…

Sauropterygia indet., metapodial element, 24/LMK
—
Sauropterygia indet. (cf. Nothosaurus) Middle Triassic, Lower Muschelkalk (Anisian), Gogolin Beds Upper Silesia, Poland Probably isolated metacarpal or metatarsal bone of an unidentified Sauropterygia (most likely a medium-sized Nothosaurus). Due to the visible slight asymmetry, I think it is most likely one of the outer metacarpals or metatarsals – I or V. The bone is flattened…

Reptilia indet., medial gastralium, 23/LMK?
—
Reptilia indet. Dating uncertain – Upper Röt or Lower Muschelkalk (Anisian) Upper Silesia, Poland The specimen is an incomplete, fragmentary medial gastralium (“abdominal rib”) of an unidentified reptile. As mentioned in another post, the gastralia are non-diagnostic and do not support taxonomic identification. The specimen, although incomplete, clearly illustrates the morphology of these dermal bones. The…
