Some Triassic places with complete taxonomic lists

Do Permian Critters Come from Same Places? · Some Triassic places with complete taxonomic lists

If Palaeocritti is really not bad, Fossilworks is in some ways even better for my purpose.

Waldkatzenbach am Katzenbuckel (Triassic of Germany)
http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=collectionSearch&collection_no=118146&is_real_user=1

Where:

Baden-Württemberg, Germany (49.5° N, 9.0° E: paleocoordinates 14.4° N, 20.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark
  
  
• small collection-level geographic resolution

When:

Oberes Konglomerat Member (Hardegsen Formation), Spathian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)

• Upper Conglomerate Horizon (Oberes Konglomerat), Hardegsen Formation (S6), top of the Middle Buntsandstein section. Late Olenekian

Environment/lithology:

terrestrial; lithology not reported

Taxonomic list
Osteichthyes
Temnospondyli -	Odenwaldia heidelbergensis n. gen. n. sp.	Morales and Kamphausen 1984	tetrapod
GPIH SMO 1, a natural mould of the skull, preserving most of the skull roof, the marginal dentition, parts of the braincase, and traces of the palate

Tsilma River (Triassic of Russian Federation)
http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=collectionSearch&collection_no=39811
Also known as Tsilma-1, Cherepanka-1, Cherepanka-3

Where:

Komi, Russian Federation (65.4° N, 52.1° E: paleocoordinates 40.2° N, 30.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark
  
  
• local area-level geographic resolution

When:

Charkabozh Formation, Olenekian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)

• upper part of Charkabozhskaya Svita (Novikov et al., 1990)
  
  
• The generic composition of the fauna coincides with the upper part of the Vetlugian "supergorizont" or the Lower Olenekian substage, respectively, which is further supported by the presence of an Early Olenekian palynoassemblage at locality Tsilma-1 (Novikov et al., 1990).

Environment/lithology:

terrestrial; lithified, gray, green, red claystone and lithified, coarse-grained siliciclastic

• alternation of red and greenish-grey clay with intercalations of sand and conglomerates

	Vyborosaurus mirus n. sp.		tetrapod
Temnospondyli -	Wetlugasaurus malachovi n. sp.	Novikov 1990	tetrapod

PIN 4332/4, 5 (a right pterygoid and a fragment of a left dentary, from Cherepanka-1); PIN 4333/9, 10 (a fragment of a left maxilla and a dentary, from Tsilma-1); details on specimens are from Novikov (1991); Ivakhnenko (2008) furthermore lists a VNIGRI specimen (no. 843/9) from Cherepanka-3 and also allocates the PIN 4332 specimens to that locality
Timanophon raridentatus was originally entered as "n. gen, n. sp.". Indeed, Novikov et al. (1990, primary reference ) cite the name T. raridentatus as a new form ("нового прогрессивного проколофонина"), but neither do they designate a type specimen, nor do they give a diagnosis or a figure. The official description of T. raridentatus was actually carried out by Novikov (1991). In this work the occurence of T. raridentatus in the Pechora River drainage basin is confirmed, but the type specimen designated and figured therein is said to come from the Mezen' River drainage basin which is west of the Timan Ridge (not east as is the Pechora River drainage basin). The information on the type and referred material of T. raridentatus as given by Novikov (1991) is repeated (and thus confirmed, somehow) by Ivakhnenko (2008). Hence, the entry "n. gen. Timanophon n. sp. raridentatus" (falsely indicating the type occurence) was corrected to "Timanophon raridentatus". (TL, 2015-04-22)

UCMP V4513, Holbrook 5 quarry (Triassic to of the United States)
http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=collectionSearch&collection_no=95091&is_real_user=1

Where:

Apache County, Arizona (34.9° N, 110.2° W: paleocoordinates 3.2° N, 38.8° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark
  
  
• small collection-level geographic resolution

When:

Holbrook Member (Moenkopi Formation), Aegean to Aegean (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)

• Lucas & Schoch (2002: Lethaia 35: 97-106) inferred the Holbrook member to be earliest Anisian (Aegean–Bithynian) in age based upon tetrapod biostratigraphy (Eocyclotosaurus used to correlate Holbrook Member to German Upper Bundsandstein) and magnetostratigraphy
  
  
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology:

terrestrial; lithology not reported

Taxonomic list
Osteichthyes
Temnospondyli - Cyclotosauridae	Quasicyclotosaurus campi n. gen. n. sp.	Schoch 2000	tetrapod

• coordinate based on nearby landmark
  
  
• small collection-level geographic resolution

When:

Lower Stubensandstein Member (Löwenstein Formation), Norian (221.5 - 205.6 Ma)

Where:

Vorarlberg, Austria (47.1° N, 9.7° E: paleocoordinates 8.6° N, 21.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map
  
  
• small collection-level geographic resolution

When:

Partnach Formation, Ladinian (242.0 - 235.0 Ma)

• Early Ladinian
  
  
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology:

shallow subtidal; gray marl

• "dense, dark gray limestone with a large clay component (a 'marl' in German usage)"

Osteichthyes
Temnospondyli - Mastodonsauridae	Tatrasuchus sp.	Maryanska and Shishkin 1996	tetrapod
PIMUZ A/II 0054, lower jaw fragment

Note, no one claims that Permian things were found straight below these. Or Carboniferous even lower. At least not the kind of things that were once alive.

Nothing prevents these Triassic places from having been, rather than from a certain time 200 and more millions of years ago, simply certain faunal types from the Flood.
