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.

Germanonautilus cf. dolomiticus, 36/LMK
—
The specimen is a fragment of the outer whorl of a Middle Triassic nautiloid preserved in the form of a steinkern. The state of preservation does not allow for a certain species identification, but considering that the specimen is from the Lower Muschelkalk (Gogolin Beds), it strongly suggests that specimen may represent Germanonautilus sp. cf.…

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…

Palaeobates angustissimus, teeth, LMK/28 LMK/29
—
Two specimens of lateral nad ?anterolateral teeth from the Triassic hybodont shark Palaeobates angustissimus. They were found in a single piece of limestone matrix, so I decided to describe them together.
