ABSTRACT The genus Simosaurus has been found in the rich sauropterygian fauna of the Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic) of the Makhtesh Ramon (Wadi Raman), and is known from European sites of the same age. Anatomical details of the single specimen, a skull fragment, are discussed. However, the specimen is too incomplete to merit a specific denomination. The vertebrates of the Makhtesh Ramon Muschelkalk are briefly reviewed.
