Abstract
A dorsal vertebra of an ichthyosaur is described from the fluvial deposits of the Kama River (Votkinsk District, Udmurt Republic, Russia). This vertebra belonged to a fairly large ichthyosaur about 5–6 m long, apparently one of the largest ichthyosaurs known from European Russia. The find is redeposited, and it is problematic to establish its exact age: most likely, the vertebra was brought by the Kama River from Jurassic–Cretaceous outcrops located upstream.
期刊介绍:
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
