Aigialosaurus bucchichi2 Kornhuber 1901 squamates four counterparts (GBA [Geologisches Bundesanstalt Osterrich, Wien, Austria] 1901 containing the cranial material and 1902-1904 being vertebral fragments). The GBA specimen preserves three sections of caudal vertebrae and the posterior half of the skull in dorsal view. The snout and a portion of the mandible have been lost (probably when the slab of platy limestone was originally split).
