The excavations at two localities in the Boskovice Furrow have produced new, abundant skeletal material of the Lower Permian discosauriscid tetrapods. The specimens are three-dimensionally preserved and the carbonized remains of the soft parts are present. The stratigraphy and palaeoecological situation of both localities is discussed. The rock of the Discosauriscus horizon may be characterized as a highly bituminous, laminated limestone or rhythmite. The situation at both localities suggests that the places in which the animal bodies have been deposited after death were not the original life environment of Discosauriscus. The content of the coprolite lying in the abdominal region of one large specimen demonstrates unambiguously the cannibalism in Discosauriscus.
