Abstract
Two temnospondyl intercentra from non-marine middle Jurassic rocks at Mab Ching, in the southern peninsula of Thailand, are the first remain s of post-Triassic labyrinthodont amphibians to be reported from the S han-Thai block. They closely resemble an intercentrum recently reporte d from the middle Jurassic of the Khorat Plateau of northeastern Thail and, which is part of the Indochina block. Although the Mab Ching spec imens are too fragmentary to warrant a precise identification, they co nfirm that temnospondyl amphibians were widespread on the various Asia n continental blocks in the Jurassic.
