Acostasaurus pavachoquensis:  A new Early Cretaceous pliosaurid of uncertain affinities known from a very well preserved skull.  It is said to be rather short-snouted and to fill a critical gap in our knowledge of plesiosaurs from this time.

My university apparently doesn't subscribe to this journal.  Does anyone have access to the paper?
