  • The Zachelmie trackways are a series of Middle Devonian-age trace fossils in Poland, purportedly the oldest evidence of terrestrial vertebrates (tetrapods) in the fossil record. These trackways were discovered in the , an Eifelian-age carbonate unit exposed in the Zachełmie Quarry of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains (Holy Cross Mountains]. The discovery of these tracks has complicated the study of tetrapod evolution. Morphological studies suggest that four-limbed vertebrates ("tetrapods" in the broad sense, also known as stegocephalians) are descended from a specialized type of tetrapodomorph fish, the epistostegalians. This hypothesis was supported further by the discovery and 2006 description of Tiktaalik, a well-preserved epistostegalian from the Frasnian of Nunavut. Crucial to this idea is the assumption that tetrapods originated in the Late Devonian, after elpistostegalians appear in the fossil record near the start of the Frasnian. The Zachelmie trackways, however, appear to demonstrate that tetrapods were present prior to the Late Devonian. The implications of this find has led to several different perspectives on the sequence of events involved in tetrapod evolution. (en)
  • Tropy środkowodewońskich czworonogów z Zachełmia – ichnoskamieniałości odnalezione w latach 2002–2008 na terenie nieczynnego kamieniołomu w Zachełmiu, w północnej części Gór Świętokrzyskich, około 10 km na północ od Kielc. Ich wiek ocenia się na około 390 mln lat, co sugeruje, że pozostawiły je prawdopodobnie najstarsze znane czworonogi (tetrapody). Pierwsze tropy odnalazł w 2002 roku Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki. Do 2008 roku Niedźwiedzki wraz z Piotrem Szrekiem odkryli znacznie więcej śladów – w ich naukowym opisie uczestniczyli również Katarzyna i Marek Narkiewiczowie oraz Per Ahlberg. Odkrycie śladów wczesnych tetrapodów w Zachełmiu wpłynęło na zmianę hipotezy dotyczącej zarówno ewolucji tej grupy, jak i czasu pierwszego wyjścia jej przedstawicieli na ląd. (pl)
