Abstract
An incomplete specimen of Desmatochelys cf. D. lowi (Reptilia: Chelonioidea) from the Trent River Formation (Santonian–Campanian) of the Comox Basin of eastern Vancouver Island is the first documented account of Cretaceous marine vertebrates from the Pacific coast of Canada. It represents both stratigraphic and geographic range extensions for the genus Desmatochelys.Keywords
