Notes and References

  1. There is consensus in the scientific literature, that Edgarosaurus is member of the family Polycotylidae. Where this family is positioned within the Plesiosauria is, however, quite unclear. In contrast to the informations given by the author of the image, Edgarosaurus is probably not an elasmosaurid.
