A longirostrine Temnodontosaurus (Ichthyosauria) with comments on Early Jurassic ichthyosaur niche partitioning and disparity [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2012 Abstract: We describe an almost complete ichthyosaur skeleton from the middle Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of the Beaujolais foothills near Lyon, France, and assign it to Temnodontosaurus azerguensis sp. nov. This new species exhibits cranial peculiarities such as a thin, elongated and possibly edentulous rostrum, as well as a reduced quadrate.

Ontogeny of the braincase inStenopterygius(Reptilia, Ichthyosauria) from the Lower Jurassic of Germany [PDF]
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2019 The fossil record of the ichthyosaur genus Stenopterygius comprises a large number of specimens of all ontogenetic stages. This makes the taxon a good model for ontogenetic studies in a Mesozoic marine reptile. Here, we describe the morphology of the braincase elements of Stenopterygius over ontogeny and compare it with that of other known ichthyosaur ...
