(modified from Werneburg and Schneider, 2024, Chap. 1815) showing the potential producers of the regurgitalite (AI: Dimetrodon teutonis, AII: Tambacarnifex unguifalcatus), the taxa identified to species level (coloured in yellow) and family level (yellow stripes) from the Bromacker known fauna, recovered from MNG 17001, along with comparisons between segmented inclusions from the regurgitalite and corresponding more complete skeletal material (A1: Thuringothyris mahlendorffae; A2: Eudibamus cursoris A3: Diadectes absitus or Orobates pabsti). Chronostratigraphic distribution (B) of all published regurgitalites (each black dot represents a locality in which a regurgitalite is mentioned and/or described) to date, categorised by depositional settings. The figure highlights MNG 17001 (the red dot) as the geologically oldest documented regurgitalite from a terrestrial environment.
