That's very interesting if accurate, confirming without doubt a length exceeding 6 m for a Late Jurassic pliosaur, but as is reasonably well known there are indications that some pliosaur taxa reached and exceeded 10 and perhaps 15 m in length (Dave Martill, Les Noe and I are due to publish on this at some stage and have already published an article on the subject of giant pliosaurs in Dino Press magazine). ❋ Darren Naish (2006)

Of course there are also the ornithischians: anachronistic ornithopods and pliosaur chew-toys. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
