    I believe ichthyosaurs are also found in Utah and Nevada which, during the Mesozoic, were on the (then) West coast of North America.

    About the size of a blue whale 🐋. Maybe a little shorter than some. Still very impressive size!

    20 m long! That's crazy! 🤯 As much as I like primeval animals, I'm still glad I don't live in the mesozoic era! 😅

    How do you they know that it was a reptile and not a giant fish?

    I have to keep reminding myself that ichthyosaurs are not cute dolphin creatures
    they are more like dolphin shaped snakes

    I can see this exceptionally captivating stylish young lady on big time tv shows enthralling us in the future, think Alice Roberts/Janina Ramirez.

    I am annoyed with this paper for two reasons: 1) an isolated surangular is not a good basis for a species definition. This naming will lead to future taxonomic headaches and I am not happy with that. 2) the histological basis to prove it was still growing is flawed. The authors largely base this on the absence of an EFS, but an EFS has never been found in any ichthyosaur, even those which have clearly approached asymptotic growth. If I had reviewed, I would have rejected it, in its current form.

    Meters? Washing machines is the preferred measurement
