Abstract
In 1935, von Huene identified the partial skeleton of a fossil reptile from the Kimmeridgian of Milne Land, Greenland, as part of a plesiosaur. This specimen was used as the holotype of Cryptoclidus (Apractoclidus) aldingeri, but was interpreted erroneously. The specimen is here reinterpreted and described as the pectoral region and posterior portion of the neck. The specimen is not diagnostic past the level of family, and is regarded as Cryptoclididae indet – the species aldingeri thereforebecomes a nomen dubium.
