Here, we describe a diverse assemblage, including hybodonts, ray-finned fishes, turtles, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs from locality. updated data on fauna provides better understanding variety distribution Early continental ecosystems, are useful for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. In addition consolidating unincorporated fauna, this study also palaeontological necessary illustrate palaeoecosystem general public, well improving academic value Chan-Sam Phan Bok Geopark.
