Macgowania
''Macgowania'' is an extinct genus of parvipelvian ichthyosaur known from British Columbia of Canada. ==Description== ''Macgowania'' is known only from the holotype ROM 41992 (RBCM EH 91.2.5), a partial skeleton which preserved nearly complete skull, almost complete forefin and other postcranial elements. It was collected in the Jewitt Spur locality from the Pardonet Formation, dating to the middle Norian stage of the Late Triassic, about 210 million years ago. It was found on the northern shore of the Peace Reach branch of Williston Lake. A second specimen from the same locality, ROM 41991, may be referable to this genus based on its forefin structure, but this cannot be confirmed due to its poor preservation.〔 ''Macgowania'' has a very stable position in many cladistic analyses.〔 The family Macgowaniidae was named by McGowan and Motani in 2003 to include this genus.〔McGowan C, Motani R. 2003.
