Three Lower Triassic bone-bearing horizons were recently discovered (S Poland). The vertebrate remains accumulated in a transitional zone between a sabkha and a sea. The presence of microbial mats was the crucial factor controlling these accumulations. The microbial mats trapped reptile and fish remains transported across them. The reptile remains represent at least Dactylosaurus and Nothosaurus (Sauropterygia).
