description

A collection of vertebrate remains from the famous Late Triassic (Carnian-Norian) deposits of Krasiejów. Excavations are carried out at the site since the early 2000s. In the UO collection, hundreds of specimens are held, including fossils assigned to different groups of fishes, temnospondyl amphibians (Cyclotosaurus, Metoposaurus), and reptiles, mostly gharial-like Paleorhinus/Parasuchus and armored Stagonolepis. UO collection includes also microvertebrate remains – isolated teeth and scales. \nIn the future, the digital collection will be enlarged to include also Middle Triassic findings from the vicinity of Opole, like vertebrate-bearing findings from Gogolin.
