Abstract
A fragmentary thalattosaur specimen from the Late Triassic Pardonet Formation of northeastern British Columbia is the second reported occurrence of such animals in Canada. The group was previously known with certainty only from the Hosselkus Limestone of California, the Monte San Giorgio region shales of Italy and Switzerland, the Natchez Pass Formation of Nevada, and most recently, the Sulphur Mountain Formation of British Columbia. As such, the described material, which is indeterminate to genus, represents a slight geographic range extension of the Thalattosauria. The Norian age of this material represents a significant temporal range extension for the Thalattosauria, and it is the geologically youngest material known of this taxon.
