They comprise the lower part of a branchial apparatus associated with a left lower jaw and a basisphenoid. Osteological features of the angular and basisphenoid and the teeth ornamentation allow the inclusion of the specimen in the mawsoniid family, genus and species indeterminate. Mawsoniids are known in freshwater environments from the Triassic of North America and from the Cretaceous of Western Gondwana and Europe, as well as from Late Jurassic marine environments from Europe. The new discovery here reported represents the first coelacanth from the marine Triassic of France and improves the understanding of the palaeobiogeography of the Mawsoniidae. %G English %L mnhn-03893843 %U https://mnhn.hal.science/mnhn-03893843 %~ UNIV-ST-ETIENNE %~ ENS-LYON %~ INSU %~ MNHN %~ ENS-PARIS %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-LYON1 %~ LGL-TPE %~ GIP-BE %~ CR2P %~ PSL %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SORBONNE-UNIV %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UDL %~ UNIV-LYON %~ LGENS %~ ENS-PSL %~ ALLIANCE-SU
