Abstract
A partial skeleton, including a skull with part of the axial skeleton, part of a second skull, and fragments of ribs have been recovered from the Sinemurian of the Sandilands Formation exposed at Kennecott Point in the northwestern Queen Charlotte Islands. This material is the most complete Early Jurassic collection from North America reported to date; other occurrences include a forefin from the Nordegg Formation (Sinemurian) of Alberta positively identified as Ichthyosaurus (McGowan, 1978) and vertebral centra from the Nicely Formation (Pliensbachian), Oregon, not assigned conclusively to a genus (McGowan, 1978). The discovery of ichthyosaurs in the allochthonous insular belt of British Columbia adds weight to the contention that ichthyosaurs were cosmopolitan in their distribution (McGowan, 1978; Orr, 1986).
