For the first time a nearly entirely intact skeleton of a primitive species of an ichthyosaur has been discovered close to Salzburg, Austria. It is a new form of the durophagous ichthyosaur probably belonging to the genus Omphalosaurus, which previously has only been described from remnants in Spitsbergen (Svalbard), Norway and Nevada, U.S.A. It is also the first instance that remains of a reptile could be saved from the Hallstatt limestone. This Hallstatt limestone was deposited in a pelagic…

IS OMPHALOSAURUS ICHTHYOPTERYGIAN?—A PHYLOGENETIC PERSPECTIVE
TLDR
Although the affinity of Omphalosaurus is inconclusive at this point, there is insufficient reason to prefer ichthyopterygians as its sister group among others.

An Enigmatic Marine Reptile—The Actual First Record of Omphalosaurus in the Muschelkalk of the Germanic Basin
ABSTRACT Omphalosaurus is an enigmatic marine reptile of probable ichthyosaurian affinities known from Early and Middle Triassic marine deposits of the Northern Hemisphere. Based on its unique…
Preliminary report on ichthyopterygian elements from the Early Triassic (Spathian) of Spitsbergen
Jaw elements of Omphalosaurus sp. are described from the Early Triassic (Spathian) of Marmierfjellet, Spitsbergen. The elements are from the Grippia and the Lower Saurian niveaus in the Vendomdalen…
THE TRIASSIC MARINE REPTILE OMPHALOSAURUS: OSTEOLOGY, JAW ANATOMY, AND EVIDENCE FOR ICHTHYOSAURIAN AFFINITIES
Abstract Omphalosaurus is a marine reptile known from the latest Early Triassic to the Middle Triassic. It has a wide distribution in the northern hemisphere, occurring in the eastern Pacific realm,…
Middle–Upper Triassic marine vertebrates of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean)
TLDR
An anterior caudal vertebra of a basal ichthyosauriform similar to Grippidia is described from the Ladinian carbonate ramps of the Muschelkalk of Mallorca, which fills a biogeographic gap for the group, hitherto only known from the eastern and western margins of Panthalassa.
The Cranial Osteology Of The Middle Triassic Ichthyosaur Contectopalatus From Germany
A new partial skull of the Middle Triassic ichthyosaur Contectopalatus atavus allows many new osteological observations and makes the referral of several additional specimens, including lower jaw…
Lebensspuren von Meersauriern und ihren Beutetieren im mittleren Jura (Callovien) von Liesberg, Schweiz
SummaryNumerous gutter-like furrows, up to 60 cm wide and up to 9 m long are preserved at the interface “Macrocephalus Beds”/“Callovian Marl” over a surface of 20 by 200 m. They are interpreted as…
First evidence of a conical-toothed pliosaurid (Reptilia, Sauropterygia) in the Hauterivian of the Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria
Phylogeny, systematics, and origin of the Ichthyosauria - the state of the art
TLDR
At the present state of knowledege, a defi nite decision on the origin and phylogenetic position of ichthyosaurs is still impossible, but descent from primarily anapsid ancestors and an origin from among the Parareptilia can not be excluded as an alternative to a diapsid origin of the group.

Ichthyosaurs (Reptilia, Ichthyosauria) from the Lower and Middle Triassic Sulphur Mountain Formation, Wapiti Lake area, British Columbia, Canada
Ichthyosaurs are found in the Lower and Middle Triassic members of the Sulphur Mountain Formation in the Wapiti Lake area, British Columbia. Three species are recognized: Pessosaurus sp. in the…
NEW MARINE VERTEBRATE FAUNA FROM THE MIDDLE TRIASSIC OF NEVADA
ichthyosaur finds, and a number of new genera and species were described from this state. Based on a few vertebrae, Leidy (1868) erected a new Middle Triassic ichthyosaur genus, Cymbospondylys, with…
Plesiosaur Ancestors from the Upper Permian of Madagascar
TLDR
The nature of the Upper Permian sediments in Madagascar and the tectonic environment of their deposition indicate accumulation in deep rift valleys, some parts of which were open to the sea, and the presence of oolites replaced with collophane suggests a rich phosphate source such as deep marine upwellings.
The affinities and ecology of Triassic ichthyosaurs
The resolution of the problem of ichthyosaurian affinities has been complicated and prolonged by an emphasis on the morphology of Jurassic ichthyosaurs, some 30 to 40 m.y. younger than the earliest…
Lines of Phyletic and Biological Development of the Ichthyopterygia

Introduction The great order of the Ichthyopterygia, known from Permian to Upper Cretaceous times, is formed by the Ichthyosauria, Omphalosauria, and Mesosauria. A special study of all Liassic…
Wege der Reptiliensystematik
TLDR
Since the skull ofSimosaurus cannot be derived from any presently known Cotylosaurian skull, it must be assumed thatSimosaurus, and thus the Sauropterygians, developed as an independent reptilian line from ancestral amphibian forms.
Classification and phylogeny of the diapsid reptiles
  • M. Benton
  • Environmental Science, Geography
  • 1985
TLDR
A cladistic analysis of skull and skeletal characters of all described Permo-Triassic diapsid reptiles suggests some significant rearrangements to commonly held views of the Diapsida.
ON THE POSSIBLY POLYPHYLETIC ORIGIN OF REPTILES
TLDR
This review concludes that the several contributors to Dr. Bell's book have covered a great deal of ground in the 343 pages available to them, and the result is a volume which should be extremely useful as a source book to biologists who are not primarily evolutionists.
Preliminary description of Thaisaurus chonglakmanii n.g., n. sp., a new ichthyopterygian (Reptilia) from the Early Triassic of Thailand
TLDR
A new ichthyopterygian from the Lower Triassic of Thailand is described and referred to the new genus and species Thaisaurus chonglakmanii, which is created in place of Anhuisaurus Chen 1985.
The Phylogeny and Classification of Reptiles
TLDR
It is only hesitatingly that I have ventured, for the first time, to express in tabular form my own views of the phylogeny and classification of the reptiles.
