An incomplete coelacanthiform specimen is described from the Dont Formation (Anisian, Middle Triassic) of Kühwiesenkopf/Monte Prà della Vacca in the Northern Dolomites (NE Italy). Even if the incompleteness of the specimen does not allow a reliable taxonomic assignment at generic level, it increases our understanding of Middle Triassic coelacanthiform diversity in the western Tethys.

Abstract
An incomplete coelacanthiform specimen is described from the Dont Formation (Anisian, Middle Triassic) of Kuhwiesenkopf/Monte Pra della Vacca in the Northern Dolomites (NE Italy). Even if the incompleteness of the specimen does not allow a reliable taxonomic assignment at generic level, it increases our understanding of Middle Triassic coelacanthiform diversity in the western Tethys.
