Description

We report the occurrence of two taxa of late Triassic (Rhaetian or Late Norian) cynodonts, dromatheriid Pseudotriconodon cf. wildi and mammaliaform Morganucodon peyeri from the new locality of Avillers (Vosges, northeastern France). The discovery increases our knowledge of the presence of early mammals in northeastern France (previously limited to Saint-Nicolas-de-Port and Varangéville) and northwestern Europe.
