Conchostracans of the Zechstein–Buntsandstein transition in Germany were studied.
Conchostracans have high value for biostratigraphy in continental deposits.
An Early Triassic fauna was recorded in the upper Fulda Formation (Zechstein Group).
The new biostratigraphic data is used for comparison with the Moscow syncline.
A position of the Permian–Triassic boundary within the Zechstein Group is indicated.
