It is based primarily on holotype and previously undescribed material. Unusual characters of the skull roof, the basioccipital and the jaws and dentition are examined and the character states assessed where possible. A reliable formula for the vertebral column is provided, based on perhaps the most complete <i>Plioplatecarpus</i> known, a specimen of <i>P. houzeaui</i>. Taxonomy, feeding, as well as the alleged behaviour of deep diving, are discussed, contrasting frequently with previous views. The ecology of Plioplatecarpus is mentioned in the light of recent material discovered in Africa and on documentation of the North American <i>P. primaevus</i>. It also takes account of recent information on the use of underwater-flight in <i>P. marshi</i>.","AbstractOtherLang":"Cette étude est la première description approfondie des représentants du genre <i>Plioplatecarpus</i> DOLLO, 1882, provenant des dépôts maastrichtiens de Belgique et des Pays-Bas. Elle se base principalement sur le matériel-type et sur des spécimens non-décrits antérieurement. Des particularités de la voûte crânienne, le basioccipital, les mâchoires et la dentition sont examinés et la valeur de ces caractères est discutée dans la mesure du possible. Une formule fiable est établie pour la colonne vertébrale sur base du spécimen sans doute le plus complet de <i>Plioplatecarpus</i>, appartenant à l'espèce <i>P. houzeaui</i>. La systématique, l'alimentation ainsi que le prétendu comportement de plongeur en eau profonde sont discutés; les conclusions contrastent, dans de nombreux cas, avec les vues antérieures. L'écologie de <i>Plioplatecarpus</i> est abordée la lumière du matériel nouvellement découvert en Afrique et de la documentation concernant <i>P. primaevus</i> d'Amérique du Nord. L'information récente concernant la pratique du \"vol sous-marin\" chez <i>P. marshi</i> est également pris en considération.","BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The Mosasaur <i>Plioplatecarpus</i> (Reptilia, Mosasauridae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:58:19.190595","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Plioplatecarpus, taxonomy, feeding, ecology, diving, underwater-flight","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1994,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2014-03-11","DateCreate":"2014-03-11","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":234067,"PubliDate":1994,"Pagination":"177-211","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"64","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":64308,"SerRR":"Bulletin van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen.
