All Pliosaur Genera

Pliosaur Genera is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers genera of pliosaurs, the large short-necked marine reptiles of the Mesozoic that hunted in the sea alongside the long-necked plesiosaurs, such as Kronosaurus and Eiectus from the Early Cretaceous of Australia. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that the genus is a pliosaur. It excludes living reptiles and other extinct reptile groups. Pliosaurs had huge heads, powerful jaws and four paddle-like limbs, and the largest ones were among the top predators of the Mesozoic seas, so the genera gathered here let a reader compare these giants.
