Abstract

The monograph is the first generalizing study on the fauna of the early Triassic amphibians of Eastern Europe, which reviews data on its taxonomic diversity, origin and ways of diversification of dominant groups, as well as their stratigraphic and geographical distribution. Original new ideas about the phylogenetic connections of separate taxa have been stated, stages of formation and the initial radiation of the dominant groups have been revealed and characterized. On this basis, the history of the development of Eastern European early Triassic tetrapods, known as the most fully documented in the world for that time, has been detailed. Significant changes have been made to the biostratigraphic scheme of the continental Lower Triassic of Eastern Europe for tetrapods, which made it possible to clarify or justify for the first time the age of a number of stratons, previously identified there.
