Few Australian ichthyosaur remains have been found outside the Queen¬ sland Artesian Basin.Near Darwin, N.T. poorly preserved in situ ichthyo¬ saur fossils are relatively common in Upper Albian Beds of shore line character, often in association with fragments of petrified wood.One specimen of ichthyosaur, recovered from a thin, shaley bed outcropping at the mouth of Rapid Creek near Nightcliff is complete enough to record some overall structural and proportional details, but no taxonomically diagnostic elements were present.The indeterminate ichthyosaur material, resembling Platypterygius australis in general proportions and vertebral morphology is presented as gen.et sp.indet
