New Ichthyosaur Species, Maiaspondylus, Discovered
From Palaonotology, this new paper covers how at least one new genus and species of ichthyosaurs has been discovered from deposits of the Loon River Formation at Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Cretaceous ichthyosaurs, from what I understand, have all been part of the Platypterygius genus. The new fossils don’t fit that genus, and so a new Maiaspondylus lindoei has been created.
