REMARKS
Regarding this specimen, Lydekker (1889) described it as “the centrum of an early cervical vertebra of similar type ”, in a direct comparison to the material previously described by Owen (1861), see Appendix 1. Following the comments of Lydekker (1889), they should be similar to those within the hypodigm of ‘ Plesiosaurus australis ’ (currently nomen dubium).
