The first tetrapodomorph spec i men from the Pa leo zoic se quences of the Moravian Karst (Moravo-Silesian Basin, Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic) is described. The well-pre served, cosmine-cov ered lat eral extrascapular bone co mes from the Upper Devonian (Famennian) hemipelagic Køtiny Lime stone of the Líšeň Formation. The affinity to the “osteolepiforms” is inferred from the cosmine his tol ogy and mor pho log i cal fea tures of the bone. As sign ment to the Megalichthyiformes seems most probable. The associated fauna, e.g., clymenids, orthocone nautiloids, thin shelled bi valves, trilobites and cri noids, clearly dem on strate a marine environment.
