Fig 2 in The last giants: New evidence for giant Late Triassic (Rhaetian) ichthyosaurs from the UK

Fig 2. The holotype of Ichthyotitan severnensis gen. et sp. nov., a newly collected specimen (BRSMG Cg3178) comprising a very large, but incomplete right surangular (the 'BAS Specimen'). A. All associated pieces with an approximate outline of the complete surangular, in medial view. The surangular is separated into two main parts, Part #A to the right and Part #B to the left (see text). B. A close-up of the coronoid process in lateral view, showing moderate eminence. C. Bulbous coronoid process in dorsal view with lateral displacement. D. Subcircular cross section at the level of the coronoid process (posterior view, medial to the left). E-F. Comparison of the massively developed M.A.M.E. ridge observed in BAS (E) and the Lilstock surangular (F); arrows indicate top of the ridge. G. Oblique view of the medial surface highlighting part of the overhanging shelf that encloses the Meckelian canal. H. Ventromedial view of the mid-posterior portion of the surangular showing a distinct, continuous, and straight thin groove that might be a suture and could indicate two distinct bones (perhaps including a damaged angular). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0300289.g002
