Plesiosaurs were long-necked marine reptiles that disappeared alongside the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. This Jurassic Plesiosaur flipper is 150-155 million years old! The flipper would have helped our creature to practically 'fly' through the water.

Drew up some ideas of what would make a unique Nessie species earlier today and decided to finalize them. Based it on the outdated swan neck posture in plesiosaurs, along with turtles and the monster Varan. Male above, Female below.

A series of plesiosaur for Jurassic marine species Attenborosaurus and Plesiosaurus, and the coastal/freshwater adapted Leptocleidus. It's very cool to think some plesiosaurs would be visible in rivers, lakes and estuaries.
