It’s funny that mosasaurs and pliosaurs frequently get over exaggerated in size when it was really the ichthyosaurs who were the largest of the marine reptiles, thought it would be fun to depict just how impressive and varied these guys were.

Excalibosaurus costini, an ichthyosaur from the Early Jurassic of Somerset, England, living about 199-191 million years ago. Reaching lengths of 7m (23′) it seems to have been a relatively rare species, known from only two fossil specimens -- a juvenile skull and partial skeleton found in the 1980s, and an almost complete adult skeleton discovered in 1996.

It had a highly elongated upper jaw studded with outward-pointing teeth, convergently resembling the similar snouts of swordfish, sawsharks, and eurhinodelphinids. It probably used a similar hunting strategy, swiping at prey to stun it and make it easier to catch.
