* A study on a putative Cretaceous [[mosasaur]] ''"[[Globidens]]" timorensis'' from [[Timor]] is published by Mulder & Jagt (2019), who consider this taxon to be of [[Triassic]] age, and reinterpret it as an ichthyosaur with affinities to the genera ''[[Tholodus]]'' and ''[[Xinminosaurus]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal|author1=Eric W.A.

* Second specimen of ''[[Wahlisaurus]] massarae'' is reported from a quarry in [[Somerset]] ([[United Kingdom]]), from the base of the [[Blue Lias]] Formation ([[Triassic]]–[[Jurassic]] boundary) by Lomax, Evans & Carpenter (2019), extending known geographic and stratigraphic range of the species.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Dean R.

* Partial skeleton of a large ichthyosaur from the [[Lower Jurassic]] ([[Sinemurian]]) of [[Warwickshire]], [[England]] is described by Lomax, Porro & Larkin (2019), who assign this specimen to the species ''[[Protoichthyosaurus]] prostaxalis''.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Dean R.
