Short summary
In my paper I describe the fossil material from Lower Triassic Czatkowice 1 locality in southern Poland. The material was included to dipnoan genus Gnathorhiza in 2003, and in the present paper I provide its specific assignment. Based on comparison with other Gnathorhiza species the Polish material belongs to Gnathorhiza otschevi, which is known from the European part of Russia. I have also summarized relationships, the stratigraphic and palaeogeographic distribution of Gnathorhiza.
