Abstract
It is proposed that several features of fossilised bone morphology such as size of the glenoid angles, interglenoid width, and presence or absence of an intercoracoid foramen in the plesiosauroid <I>Cryptoclidus eurymerus </I>can be used as a basis for splitting them into sexual dimorphs. It is also suggested from morphometric shape analysis and correlation analysis that one of the <I>Cryptoclidus eurymerus </I>specimens GLAHM V1799 from the Leeds Collection appears to belong to a separate species or subspecies.
