Reptilia
Ichthyosauromorpha

Platypterygiinae

Late Jurassic
Kimmeridge Clay Fm (Kimmeridgian)
England, UK

Length: 2.5 m

This medium size and uncommon ichthyosaur from the Late Jurassic is known from fragmentary remains. It was characterized by relatively small front paddles, thus its generic name (which means "wide wing/paddle"). The larger species Brachypterygius mordax (up to 5 meters) may or may not be the same as the type species B. extremus.
