A COELACANTH FISH FROM THE ANISIAN (MIDDLE TRIASSIC) OF THE DOLOMITES

An incomplete coelacanthiform specimen is described from the Dont Formation (Anisian, Middle Triassic) of K\ufchwiesenkopf/Monte Pr\ue0 della Vacca in the Northern Dolomites (NE Italy). Even if the incompleteness of the specimen does not allow a reliable taxonomic assignment at generic level, it increases our understanding of Middle Triassic coelacanthiform diversity in the western Tethys.An incomplete coelacanthiform specimen is described from the Dont Formation (Anisian, Middle Triassic) of Kuhwiesenkopf/Monte Pra della Vacca in the Northern Dolomites (NE Italy).
