Heard there’s new polychotylidae just dropped, and it’s already my favorite~

This new plesiosaur (Serpentisuchops pfisterae) is incredibly cool. It reminds me of those old paleoart depictions of plesiosaurs in the 1800's where they would make them look like weird swan/duck/dolphin things.

Diving with Serpentisuchops! :B Long necked, long snouted plesiosaur up to 7 m long? Had to doodle it! :B It was a polycotylid, part of a group of long, slender snoted plesiosaurs that usually had shorter necks. I love it cause it looks like a sort of whimsical sea serpent thing.
