Ornithischian dinosaur Stenopelix valdensis Meyer, 1857, holotype (GZG 741/2, formerly GPI Gö 741−2), from the Obernkirchen Sandstone (Early
Cretaceous: Berriasian), near Bückeburg, Niedersachsen, Germany. A. Large sandstone slab. B. Interpretative outline drawing of large latex cast (prepared
from large sandstone slab), showing majority of postcranial skeleton in dorsal view. C. Small sandstone slab. D. Interpretative outline drawing of small la−
tex cast (prepared from small sandstone slab), showing sacrum and caudals, pelvic region and partial hindlimbs in ventral view. For clarity elements in and
around the sacral region have not been labelled—these areas are shown in greater detail in Fig. 3. Roman numerals II–IV correspond to respective digits.

Remarkable Fossil Reveals the Diet of a Late Jurassic Ichthyosaur
Germany Jurassic Late Jurassic fossil specimen Aegirosaurus Ichthyosauria Jabalisaurus skeleton
Scientists studying the newly described ichthyosaur Jabalisaurus tethyensis have gained a remarkable insight into its diet. A beautifully preserved fossil from southern Germany contains evidence of the animal's last meals. In addition, the specimen preserves important details of the skeleton and body outline. The fossil, specimen number JME-SOS-08369, was previously assigned to Aegirosaurus. However, researchers

Scientists have described a new species of Jurassic ichthyosaur from southern Germany. The new species named Jabalisaurus tethyensis, lived around 149 million years ago during the Late Jurassic (Tithonian faunal stage). Remarkably, some fossils assigned to Jabalisaurus tethyensis had previously been classified as Aegirosaurus. The research highlights the hidden diversity of ichthyosaurs in the famous
