Abstract
The species Pliosaurus rossicus Novozhilov is redescribed. The short mandibular symphysis places the species in the Liopleurodon-Stretosaurus group and the triradiate scapula in the genus Liopleurodon itself. The teeth are trihedral in section; hence the material being specifically distinct from L.ferox is assigned to L.rossicus
