【Abstract】 Many well-preserved marine reptiles and fish fossils were recently found from the Middle Triassic Guanling Formation at Dawazi,Jiuguang,Daming and Abang of Luoke Village,Luoping County of Yunnan Province.The fossil-bearing bed is distributed in the upper part of Guangling Formation,25~35m below the basal of overlying Yangliujing Formation,and composed of dark thin-bedded limestone with very thin-bedded shale interbeds.Primary study indicated that the assemblages of marine reptiles and age of fossi-bearing bed were similar with those found from the Yangjian,Xiangshui Village of Xinming,Panxian County,Guizhou Province.The marine reptiles mainly included ichthyosaur,eosaurepterygia,nothosaur,placodont and protosaur.In this paper a skeleton of Mixosaurid from Luoke village is first recorded and systematic described as following.Superorder Ichthyopterygia Owen,1840Order Ichthyosauria Blainville,1835Suborder Mixosauria Montani,1999BFamily Mixosauridae Baur,1887AGenus Mixosaurus Bars,1887AMixosaurus kuhnschnyderi Brinkmann,19981998a Sangiorgiosaurus kuhnschnyderi n.g.n.sp.;Brinkmann,132.1998b Mixosaurus kuhnschnyderi(Brinkmann);pp.167-170.1999b Mixosaurus kuhnschnyderi(Brinkmann);Montani,480.2003 Mixosaurus kuhnschnyderi(Brinkmann);Montani,69Material:YIGM SPCV-0810,in right view,in the Museum of Yichang Institute of Geology and Mineral resources,is composed of well-preserved skull,pectoral girdle,forefin and most of body.Diagnosis(revised):Small Mixosaurus,probably not exceeding 1m;tooth size of upper jaw larger than the overbiting at the lower jaw;the most posterior tooth in upper jaw being robust with bluntly pointed,conical crown;a conical tooth being between two mound-shaped teeth in the most posterior 3 teeth of mandible.Locality and horizon:Luoke of Xinzhai Village,Luoping County,Yunnan Province;Upper part of Guanling Formation,Middle Triassic.更多还原
