Paleontological localities

Abundant skeletons of the Upper Triassic tetrapods (i.e., large Temnospondyli: Metoposaurus and Cyclotosaurus; reptiles: Paleorhinus, dinosauriformes Silesaurus) were described from the pit. Two paleontological museums and large dinopark (so-called JuraPark)[2] are at Krasiejów. Some microvertebrate fossils, fossil plants, bivalves, crustaceans and fish scales [3]were also collected at the site.
