Abstract

New material of Agkistracanthus mitgelensis is described from the Cotham Member of the Lilstock Formation (Penarth Group, “Rhaetic”) of Saint Audries Bay, and the Late Triassic fissure filling at Holwell. This is the first record of the species outside Switzerland. A tooth plate of Myriacanthus paradoxus is described from the Westbury Formation (Penarth Group) of Aust Cliff, extending the known range of the species into the Late Triassic.
