DataSheet2_Exquisite skeletons of a new transitional plesiosaur fill gap in the evolutionary history of plesiosauroids.DOCX

Plesiosaurs are Mesozoic reptiles fully adapted to an aquatic lifestyle. Throughout their evolutionary history exceeding 140 million years plesiosaurs dispersed globally, achieved substantial diversity, occupied a variety of ecological niches, and ...

A new pliosaurid (Sauropterygia, Plesiosauria) from the Oxford Clay Formation (Middle Jurassic, Callovian) of England: evidence for a gracile, longirostrine grade of Early-Middle Jurassic pliosaurids

A partial skeleton from the Sigiloceras enodatum ammonite Subzone (lower Callovian, Middle Jurassic) of the Oxford Clay Formation of Quest Pit, near Stewartby, Bedfordshire, UK, represents one of the basalmost Middle Jurassic pliosaurids.
