REMARKS
This specimen was regarded as a paralectotype of “ Plesiosaurus holmesi ” Hector, 1874 (nomen dubium), and considered as an indeterminate polycotylid byWelles & Gregg (1971). The sacral features of the specimen preclude a referral to polycotylids or elasmosaurids. Therefore, it is here considered as an indeterminate plesiosaurian.
