Kronosaurus



Kronosaurus was a marine repitle that lived during the early Cretaceous period at the same time dinosaurs roamed the land. Though sometimes called a dinosaur, it is technically a pliosaur of the order of plesiosaurs which is different from dinosaurs. They were large, only a little shorter than the average length of a school bus and preyed on turtles and plesiosaurs and possibly giant squid and elasmosaurs. It is named for the ancient Greek titan Kronos.

This one came from a request by a paleoart fan. He wanted a prehistoric aquatic reptile. He suggested a few and I like the Kronosaurus the best.

Thanks for looking
