摘要

This paper reports a new assemblage from the Late Triassic (mid-late Carnian) at Wozniki near Czestochowa (Poland). The Wozniki vertebrate assemblage is similar to that of Lisowice-Lipie Slaskie, a new locality bearing vertebrates from latest Triassic (latest Norian-early Rhaetian) strata of southern Poland, in the presence of dicynodonts, shark spines, plagiosaurs and a cyclotosaur, but conchostracans and bivalves are similar to those from the Krasiejow site (late Carnian). The most complete specimen from Wozniki belongs to a dicynodont, and consists of cranial and postcranial bones of a single individual. It demonstrates that large dicynodonts were part of the Late Triassic vertebrate assemblage in Central Europe. Numerous tetrapod tracks and traces are associated with skeletal fossils at Wozniki.
