New marine reptile fossils from the Oxfordian (Late Jurassic) of Greenland

Abstract: Knowledge about marine reptile diversity and disparity during the Late Jurassic is increasing. This contribution describes marine reptile skeletal elements (ichthyosaur and plesiosaur) from Kingofjeld mountain in NE Greenland. The assemblage is early Late Oxfordian (Late Jurassic) in age, and consists of c. 100 disarticulated skeletal elements. The location is of biogeographic importance as it was at the time situated between the Boreal realm and the Tethys Sea and is promising in terms of future prospecting.

“…This might be haemal arch facets, as also proposed by Prasad et al (2017). GEUS 590347-15 was assigned to the preflexural caudal region, in contrast to its dorsal position suggested by Delsett & Alsen (2020). In contrast to the other centra, GEUS 590347-16 is not biconcave and has a flat anterior and posterior surface, without preserved rib facets, which might be due to erosion (Fig.…”

“…The vertebrae described by Delsett & Alsen (2020) were found on a weathered surface at Kingofjeldet on Kuhn Ø, North-East Greenland. They are all assumed to be from the same level in the succession and therefore of the same age (late Oxfordian; Delsett & Alsen 2020). A few of the centra were found embedded in the deposits, whereas most have been exposed to weathering.…”
