The Lissauer Breccia, sometimes referred to as the Kocury Locality, is a Norian geologic formation that is part of the larger Keuper limestone, which dominates across most of west and central Europe. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[1] The site was studied in 1932[2] and was later forgotten and not explored until excavations began in 2012, and the Lissauer Breccia was re-described in 2021.[3]
