Albertonectes
(A) View of the original downside in the field and the best preserved side as it experienced the least disruption by scavenging sharks. (B) Detail of midbody region showing the large gastroliths that settled downwards onto the inside of the right, dorsal ribs. This region was hit by the excavator bucket with the partial loss of ribs and an unknown number of gastroliths. Fortuitously, the broken blocks hosting gastroliths can be removed and their contents inspected from several sides. Scalebar is 10 cm.
