Reappraisal of the fossil record of Polycotylidae (Sauropterygia: Plesiosauria) from the Upper Cretaceous of Chile

Andean Geology
The polycotylids, mostly short-necked plesiosaurs, were a clade of marine reptiles with an almost cosmopolitan geographical distribution in the Cretaceous Period. In austral continents, like South America, Antarctica and Australia, the presence of this group has remained relatively poorly documented, where apart from some rare specimens, most records ...
