New Pliosaurid! It's been so long since a new taxon has been named, congratulations to Ketchum and Benson for naming the taxon. Seems to be named " Eardasaurus powelli", and is closest to other genera such as Peloneustes or "Pliosaurus andrewsi".
New paper on Temnodontosaurus! Been waiting to talk about the results on this one for quite a while. T.zetlandicus is erected for the previously known I.zetlandicus and is considered distinct, hence being retained as a distinct species within the genus.
So recent paper was published on "Kronosaurus" boyacensis and Kronosaurus queenslandicus by Leslie Noè and Marcela Gómez-Pérez. They erect two new taxa, Monquirasaurus boyacensis and Eiectus longmani, replacing the two genera mentioned above. 1/6
@origamiPete Sachicasaurus vitae, it's closely related to "Kronosaurus" boyacensis (with the latter likely being a species of Sachica) and they're both found in Colombia's Paja formation during the early cretaceous. They coexisted with two other pliosaurids and several other marine reptiles.
New open access paper on a Tomistomine from Australia! New named taxon called Gunggamarandu maunala. Pretty fragmentary but still neat to see Aussie Tomistomines(as I was expecting considering their early Paleogene radiation).

Really neat photos taken showcasing the holotype for Brachauchenius lucasi. These were uploaded by Kenneth Carpenter on Wikipedia just this March. I've actually never seen a lateral of this specimen but not surprised at how crushed it is.
