Bathyspondylus
''Bathyspondylus'' is an extinct genus of plesiosaur. It was first described in 1982 from a specimen originally found in 1774, now housed at the Devizes Museum. Because it is known only from its fossil vertebrae (and so few of those have been recovered), paleontologists are not entirely sure of the taxonomy of ''Bathyspondylus''; the family it belongs to is not currently known.〔Cladistic Analysis of the Plesiosauria (Reptilia: Sauropterygia)Adam Stuart Smith, Supervised by M. J. Benton. University of Bristol, Department of Earth Sciences. September 2003. pg. 18〕
The type, and only known, species of ''Bathyspondylus'' is ''Bathyspondylus swindoniensis'', which was described from the same material as its genus.
==Etymology==
The genus name ''Bathyspondylus'' is a compound of two Greek roots: βαθυς (''bathys'') 'deep' and σπονδυλος (''spondylos'') 'vertebra'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= plesiosaur.com entry on ''Bathyspondylus'' )〕 It can thus be translated as "deep-vertebrae".
The species name ''B. swindoniensis'' refers to the town of Swindon in Wiltshire, near which the holotype specimen was discovered.〔
