Abstract
Marine vertebrate fossils are reported from hitherto unknown strata of Rhaetian age which( outcrop on Kongseya: the find of a well-articulated skeleton with apparent plesiosaurian( affinities is of special interest. The vertebrate-bearing sequence suggests a greater similarity( between the stratigraphy of Kong Karls Land and other localities than has previously been( recognized, and the sequence is assigned to a new stratigraphical unit (the Kapp Koburg( Member). The regional implications of the find are briefly discussed
