And there are more than that anyway. Off the top of my head you're missing Maresaurus, Eurycleidus, Attenborosaurus (according to some classifications), Sinopliosaurus, Pachycostasaurus. There are probably more, although their validity may not always be certain.  Edit - ooh, Gallardosaurus was also named in 2009. |

They're also genera, not species. Some of the genera mentioned contain multiple species. Also, was Liopleurodon definitely larger than, say, Kronosaurus? (One for Dr A I think.)

Darn, I was hoping that was just what they named it. Seems as if there is a lot of cool stuff that is still undescribed, does anyone know of a website that has info one these new discoveries? |
