On a New Species of Eurhinosaurus in the British Museum

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In 1928 the Trustees of the British Museum purchased for the Geological Department the skeleton of a large Ichthyosaur then being prepared in the workshop of Dr. B. Hauff in Holzmaden. During its preparation the skeleton was, with the permission of the Department, studied by Professor F. von Huene, of Tübingen, who subsequently published and adequate description and figure of it, and who reached the conclusion that it was probably a new species. Since I consider that the specimen is undoubtedly different from the others so far described as Eurhinosaurus longirostris I propose here to review briefly its main characteristics under a new specific name. As von Huene has done the most important work on the genus it is with great pleasure that I name this new species in his honour.
