A parareptile Tichvinskia jugensis is known by the skull fragment with lower jaw.[4] In addition, temnospondyl amphibians Benthosuchus sushkini (one specimen is also assigned to Rhinesuchus wolgo-dwinensis) and Thoosuchus sp. were found in these deposits of Vakhnevo.[5] A specimen of reptiliomorph Dromotectus spinosum (sic) is collected from the same sites.[5]
