(I can't find a formal description for this plesiosaur yet...)


Replica of most complete plesiosaur skeleton from the Southern Hemisphere (found in 2009 near El Calafate in Argentina) presented to public; it is apparently a new taxon, with a preserved curved tail that would have had a fin in life, also with notably larger front flippers; original fossils are under study at Museo de Ciencias Naturales Bernardino Rivadavia but will be sent to the Museo Padre Molina in the original discovery province in 2019 (in Spanish)Â
