    • A few isolated plesiosaurian and mosasauroid squamate teeth were collected from the Opole area in southwest Poland during the late nineteenth century. Calcareous nannofossil analysis of their associated rock matrix indicates an early Turonian age (nannofossil zone UC7; Mytiloides ex gr. labiatus and Inoceramus apicalis inoceramid zones), which is significant because this constitutes a globally enigmatic interval of marine amniote evolution. The Opole plesiosaurian teeth are attributable to polycotylids, but an indeterminate mesopodial was also recovered. They are similar to specimens from the Cenomanian–Turonian in the Saxonian Cretaceous Basin of Germany and the Chalk succession of England, but differ from polycotylid remains found in the coeval Bohemian Cretaceous Basin of the Czech Republic, which are far more robust. The mosasauroid tooth crown from Opole compares favourably with dentary and maxillary teeth of a number of Turonian yaguarasaurines and basal russellosaurines, but in having well-developed carinae and a smooth labial and strongly folded/markedly striated lingual tooth surfaces it can be differentiated from taxa such as Yaguarasaurus columbianus (Colombia), Romeosaurus fumanensis and R. sorbinii (both Italy) and ‘Mosasaurus’ gracilis (England). However, a single record from the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin may refer to a conspecific form. All this suggests a potential for slight compositional differences between Cenomanian–Turonian marine amniote assemblages across central and northern Europe, although otherwise these regions probably constituted a common faunal belt bordering the Tethys Ocean.

  • A fishy mosasaur: the axial skeleton of Plotosaurus (Reptilia, Squamata) reassessed
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Lethaia. - : Scandinavian University Press / Universitetsforlaget AS. - 0024-1164. ; 40:2, s. 153-160

    • The concept of convergence, that is, how unrelated animals independently evolve similar morphological traits, is a fundamental aspect of evolution. Hitherto, the Mesozoic ichthyosaurs were regarded as the sole obligate marine reptiles that achieved a fully streamlined body and a semilunate tail fluke. However, analyses of vertebral centrum morphometrics and process orientation have revealed that a subsequent clade of secondarily aquatic reptiles, the mosasaurs (here exemplified by the advanced, mid-Maastrichtian mosasaurine Plotosaurus), had developed a deep, fusiform body and a probable pursuit-predatory behaviour by the time of their sudden extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. Stringent physical constraints and selection pressures, imposed by the surrounding water, probably were responsible for this spectacular example of large-scale evolutionary convergence.
