Wirbeltierreste aus dem mittleren muschelkalk (trias) von göttingen,west-deutschland

A rich vertebrate fauna is described from the Middle Muschelkalk (Anis, Triassic) north of Gottingen, West-Germany. Completely preserved juvenile fishes ofEosemionotus vogeli Fritsch 1906 occur besides teeth of selachians, scales and some bones of actinopterygians and actinistians and bones of nothosaurs. Genus and species ofEosemionotus vogeli is described and redefined. These findings and search in the literature demonstrate that a rich vertebrate fauna existed in the sea of the Middle Muschelkalk; the contrary is accepted generally.
