A NEW OXFORDIAN PLIOSAURID (PLESIOSAURIA, PLIOSAURIDAE) IN THE CARIBBEAN SEAWAY [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2009 Abstract: A new pliosaurid, Gallardosaurus iturraldei gen nov. et sp. nov., was found in the Viñales area, western Cuba, in sediments of the Jagua Formation, middle–late Oxfordian. This new taxon is characterized by: wide participation of the premaxilla in the outer margin of the external naris; frontal not participating in the orbital margin ...

First pliosaur remains (Sauropterygia, Pliosauridae) from the Oxfordian of the Atacama Desert
Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2020 Abstract A partial pliosaur skull reveals anatomical features poorly known for Plesiosauria. The specimen lacks recorded contextual information, however preservational character and nannofossil analysis (earliest Turonian) suggests origination from the upper Greenhorn Limestone.

Peculiar macrophagous adaptations in a new Cretaceous pliosaurid [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 During the Middle and Late Jurassic, pliosaurid plesiosaurs evolved gigantic body size and a series of craniodental adaptations that have been linked to the occupation of an apex predator niche. Cretaceous pliosaurids (i.e.

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 2008 Abstract This research presents the first pliosaur remains from the Upper Jurassic of the Atacama Desert, in northern Chile. Two specimens recovered from Oxfordian levels, are represented by a fragmentary mandibular ramus and by an associated humerus and femur, respectively. Previous to this research, the Jurassic South American pliosaur records were
