The first definite record of a Valanginian ichthyosaur and its implications on the evolution of post-Liassic Ichthyosauria

2018-09-07

Abstract excerpt

<p>A complete ichthyosaur rostrum, with 124 associated teeth, was recently discovered in Laux-Montaux locality, department of Drôme, southeastern France. The associated belemnites and ammonites indicate a late Valanginian age (Neocomites peregrinus Zone, Olcostephanus nicklesi Subzone) for this fossil, which consequently represents the first diagnostic ichthyosaur ever reported from Valanginian strata. This spec-...
