Abstract
Abstract:Fossil marine reptile material is described from the restricted outcrops of Lower Jurassic strata exposed in Ireland. The remains consist of a single isolated fragment of rostrum from an ichthyosaur and two blocks of matrix that contain disarticulated and weathered plesiosaur vertebrae, rib fragments and a putative ilium. Although fragmentary and indeterminate, this material is a rare and significant occurrence of marine reptiles in Ireland and provides additional data on the distribution of ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs in Europe during the Jurassic Period.
