List of plesiosaur type specimens

This list of plesiosaur type specimens is a list of fossils serving as the official standard-bearers for inclusion in the species and genera of the reptile clade Plesiosauria, which includes the short-necked pliosaurs and long necked plesiosauroids. Type specimens are those which are definitionally members of biological taxa and additional specimens can only be "referred" to these taxa if an expert deems them sufficiently similar to the type.

gollark: I should run appeals instead.
gollark: As they say, But even when those Turing firmware blobs end up being released, there will still be the issue like with Maxwell / Pascal / Volta of only running at the boot clock frequencies without any re-clocking support for being able to drive the hardware at its optimal clock frequencies. For overcoming that challenge, additional firmware support or workarounds need to be devised around the PMU handling. Until that happens, the Nouveau performance past the GeForce GTX 700 series remains very slow.
gollark: This is efficiency.
gollark: If you instead say you'll do them in 6 to 8 weeks, people will be happy if you do them in mere days.
gollark: See, this is the problem, you shouldn't say you'll do things in 10 minutes.
