Abstract
Eunotosaurus is a rare tetrapod fossil until recently known only from the Tapinocephaluszone of
the main Karoo basin of Cape Province. A single specimen has recently been collected in the Free
State (Weiman, pers. com.). This paper describes a new find from the Eastern Cape, where outcrops
of Karoo rocks are scarce. The new specimen adds previously unknown morphological detail, particularly about the limbs. Phylogenetic affinities are clearly with the Parareptilia.
