Abstract

Two fragmentary Plesiosauria (marine reptile) flippers are described from the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) marine deposits of western Cuba. The specimens, despite being fragmentary and remineralized, can be assigned to the Plesiosauria based on the distinctive morphology of the phalanges. These remains, originally discovered during the 20th century, had not been previously studied. They provide another clue in the understanding of the Late Jurassic vertebrate fossil record of Cuba and the paleo-Caribbean.
