==Discovery and naming== The holotype consists of a single posterior cervical vertebra which was discovered in the Chalk Group in Sussex, England. It was first named as Plesiosaurus bernardi by Owen (1850). However, Cope (1869) re-studied the holotype and decided that P. bernardi warranted its own genus, which he named Crymocetus.
