Plesiosaur remains are rare in Poland. The first confidently documented occurrenceof the group from the Jurassic of Poland is reported. The specimens comprisethree isolated teeth of a pliosaurid (Pliosauridae, Thalassophonea). These were found in Upper Jurassic (lower Oxfordian) sediments and were collected from Zalas Quarry, near Kraków, in southern Poland. Fossils from the vicinity of the Zalas area have been collected since the 1800s, yet no report of vertebrate remains has previously beendescribed.
