Extract

In 1992 Sander described in this journal a find of the ichthyosaurian genus Cymbospondylus from the Middle Triassic of Spitsbergen. At the time of publication, the specimen illustrated in figures 2-4 (Sander, 1992) and five associated elements (not figured) were housed at the Paleontological Institute and Museum of the University of Zürich (PIMUZ A/III 496 and PIMUZ A/III 647-651). These specimens were later donated by their collector and owner Professor Hans-Joachim Schweitzer (Bonn) to the Paleontological Museum of the University of Oslo (PMO), where they are now stored under the following numbers:

  • PMO 162.003 (=PIMUZ A/III 496, figs. 2-4 in Sander, 1992)

  • PMO 162.004 (=PIMUZ A/III 647)

  • PMO 162.005 (=PIMUZ A/III 648)

  • PMO 162.006 (=PIMUZ A/III 649)

  • PMO 162.007 (=PIMUZ A/III 650)

  • PMO 162.008 (=PIMUZ A/III 651)
