"Although the specimen is not completely preserved, it has some unique characteristics of an ichthyosauromorph, which is different from other marine reptiles such as finned fish," said Han Fenglu, a professor at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and a member of the research team.
Members of the survey group in Guizhou province, together with other from Canada's University of Alberta, joined the research. Their findings were published recently online in PeerJ journal.
