\"\"The Pliensbachian<\/a> (Early Jurassic<\/a>, \u223c192.9\u2013184.2 Ma) plesiosaurs<\/a> are poorly understood, with only three taxa established worldwide. The new study reports two lower Pliensbachian plesiosaur occurrences from North Rhine-Westphalia<\/a>, Germany, including the only reliably identified early Pliensbachian pliosaurid<\/a> discovered to date. Despite that its remains are morphologically, geographically and stratigraphically<\/a> close to Arminisaurus schuberti<\/i>, precise identification of the new material remains currently uncertain.<\/p>
