''Eoplesiosaurus'' is an extinct genus of basal plesiosauroid known from the Early Jurassic period (most likely earliest Hettangian stage) of the United Kingdom. It contains a single species, ''E. antiquior''. ==Discovery== ''Eoplesiosaurus'' is known only from the holotype specimen TTNCM 8348, a complete and articulated postcranial skeleton. It preserved three-dimensionally with some gastralia presented. It was collected at Watchet, of Somerset, from the Pre-''Planorbis'' beds of the Blue Lias Formation of the Lower Lias Group. These beds likely occur below the first occurrence of the ammonite ''Psiloceras planorbis''. Thus, they probably fall within the earliest Hettangian ''P. tilmanni'' Chronozone, which is about 199.6-198 million years old, immediately following the Triassic–Jurassic Boundary. Plesiosaurs fossils which were discovered at Street (e.g. ''Avalonnectes'' and ''Thalassiodracon''), or at penecontemporaneous strata such as the Watchet locality, represent the earliest known occurrence of the Plesiosauria. Hence, ''Eoplesiosaurus'' is the oldest plesiosauroid and one of the oldest plesiosaurs, to date.〔
