Fig. 2. TMP 1995.116.0023 in A large marine eosauropterygian reptile with affinities to nothosauroid diapsids from the Early Triassic of British Columbia, Canada

Fig. 2. TMP 1995.116.0023 tentatively identified as aff. Nothosauroidea indet. from the Olenekian, L cirque locality, Ganoid Ridge, Wapiti Lake area, British Columbia, Canada. The specimen consists of two associated larger slabs (A), and two small slabs (B, C) of unclear association. The area where the preserved bones and imprints on the large slab derive from the skeleton is indicated by a red rectangle on black outline drawing based roughly on Nothosaurus giganteus (based on PIMUZ T 4829). A. The two larger slabs containing most of the identifiable bones. Gastralia, appendicular, and girdle elements are in light gray, axial elements in darker gray. B. Small slab with the imprint of two bone fragments, the larger of which might pertain to a girdle or appendicular bone. C. A second small slab with three partially preserved bone remains, probably all representing adjacent neural arch fragments. Photographs (A1–C1) and interpretative drawings (A2–C2). Abbreviations: c, centrum; ch, hemal arch or chevron bone; g, gastral elements; na, neural arch.
