| Abstract | The Mawsoniidae family includes six genera Chinlea, Diplurus, Trachymetopon, Parnaibaia,Mawsonia and Axelrodichthys with an almost worldwide occurrence ranging from the Triassic to theLate Cretaceous. The genus Mawsonia is widely registered from the Western Gondwana (SouthAmerica and Africa) and is currently found in layers of continental origin and in association with freshwater ostracods or with a peculiar continental vertebrate fauna. Here we redescribe some nearly completeskeletons of M. gigas. Mawsoniids are extremely common in the Western Gondwana and, yet variousspecimens from different basins are referred to M. gigas, this type species is still one of the mostpoorly known species of this family. The redescription of the specimens from Reconcavo Basin confi rmsits classifi cation as M. gigas, based mainly on the postcranial skeleton. |
