An articulated sauropterygian marine reptile from the Middle Triassic of the South-Iberian Palaeomargin, Betic Cordillera, Southeastern Spain

A new Triassic small marine reptile has been found in the locality of Cehegín (Murcia, Southeastern Spain). The fossil remains mainly comprise moulds of the bones and some osseous fragments still embedded in the rock. These correspond to an articulated sauropterygian, being distinguishable the cervi...
