New Middle Triassic fossil site with remains of fish and marine reptiles near the village of Tserovo, western Stara Planina Mountain, Bulgaria
The fossil record of Triassic jawed vertebrates in Bulgaria, marine reptiles in particular, is still notoriously scarce and understudied. We report on a newly discovered fish and sauropterygian material from an otherwise well-studied part of the Middle Triassic Mogila Formation near the village of Tserovo, Svoge Municipality. Some preliminary data on the fossil content of this new vertebrate fossil site is provided.
