Abstract
During a detailed archival query carried out for the implementation of the Koszalin sheet of The Geological Map of Poland, scale 1 : 200 000, cartographers from the Polish Geological Institute found original materials from a research borehole made in 1938 in the Darłowo (Rügenwalde) region. It was determined that in the drill core, in sediments dated to the Early Triassic, contained a reptile vertebra, which has survived to the present day and is in the collection of the Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe in Berlin. Thanks to international cooperation, it was possible to re-analyse the specimen by a team of palaeontologists from the Institute of Paleobiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The specimen, which was located after 85 years, is not only a historical curiosity, but can also be of great importance to science. It is the only Triassic tetrapod fossil from Pomerania and potentially one of the oldest tetrapod remains not only in Poland, but also in Europe.
