METRIORHYNCHUS LITTOREUS SAUVAGE, 1874
1874 Metriorrhynchus littoreus sp. nov. [sic]; Sauvage
Holotype: MHNB 58 View Materials , fragment of rostrum, cervical and dorsal vertebrae.
Type locality: Boulogne-sur-Mer, Nord-Pas de Calais, France (lower Kimmeridge Clay Formation).
Geological range: Upper Kimmeridgian (austissiodorensis ammonite zone).
Note: Although based upon a fragmentary rostrum, and cervical and dorsal vertebrae from Boulogne-sur- Mer of the upper Kimmeridgian, an occipital and posterior cranial fragment has been found from the same locality that is clearly referable to Metriorhynchus ( SMNS 56999). However, whether this taxon is distinct from M. geoffroyii cannot be currently determined.
