Earth Sciences Research JournalIn this paper, we describe a new ophthalmosaurid specimen found in the lower Barremian beds of the Paja Formation at Villa de Leiva, Boyacá, Colombia. The specimen represents a new species of Platypterygius, P. elsuntuoso sp. nov. defined by three unique features within the genus: a small ventral peg in the anterior ventral border of the extracondylar ...

Revision ofPlatypterygius hauthalivon Huene, 1927 (Ichthyosauria: Ophthalmosauridae) from the Early Cretaceous of Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2005 ABSTRACT Most of the Cretaceous ichthyosaurian materials are referable to the single genus Platypterygius, which includes seven species. Although Cretaceous ichthyosaurs were probably cosmopolitan in their distribution, South American records are scarce.

Re-appearance of hypercarnivore ichthyosaurs in the Cretaceous with differentiated dentition: revision of ‘Platypterygius’ sachicarum (Reptilia: Ichthyosauria, Ophthalmosauridae) from Colombia [PDF]
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2021 Early Cretaceous ichthyosaur diversity has markedly increased in recent years with the discovery of new taxa in the field and in museum collections. This has led to new characters, and a better understanding of taxonomically informative anatomy. Here, we re-describe the holotype of the ophthalmosaurid Platypterygius sachicarum from the Barremian–Aptian
