Abstract
Burrows of lungfishes are found for the first time in the Lower and Middle Triassic deposits of the Southern Cis-Urals. A preliminary description of these burrows and comparison with burrows of freshwater crustaceans are provided. Newly obtained paleoichnological data expand our knowledge of Triassic continental communities and abiotic conditions in Eastern Europe.
