Abstract
The Plesiosauria (Reptilia) from the Upper Sinemurian (Lower Jurassic or Liassic) of Belgian Lorraine are described and discussed in the present paper. IRSNB R 127, a fragmentary skeleton from Dampicourt and Plesiosaurus dewalquii VAN BENEDEN 1871 are referred to the family Elasmosauridae. IRSNB R 128, a series of vertebrae discovered in Stockem is reffered to the family Pliosauridae. This leads to extension of the paleogeographical distibution of both Families since the Lower Jurassic
