Hitherto, the popular understanding was that the Bulgarian fossil record of Mesozoic tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) has been restricted to the Upper Cretaceous. In this contribution we report on the discovery of isolated bones of marine reptiles and teeth of various vertebrates from the Middle Triassic carbonate rocks outcropping near the town of Godech, Western Bulgaria. A revision of the currently held orthodoxy that Bulgaria is mostly a barren land when it comes to Mesozoic tetrapods is urged.
