YES!!! That is the Papo Tylosaurus!

I liked The Land that Time Forgot, is that a bad thing?

Not at all..I like it myself.

The Papo Tylo was retro..but I think the LtTF Mosasaur had the classic sail/fin down it's back and Papo's didn't.

Isn't that creature in tlttf supposed to be a plesiosaur, not a mosasaur?

[Dan]

I think that's the one where the crew dined on plesiosaur. 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

There were both. A plesiosaur and a mosasaur..I believe they were supposed to be caught in a battle between them ala Journey to the center of the earth .  They did kill the plesiosaur and had it for supper.

Atually,they weren't in battle with one another.They just attacked the people on the sub one right after the other.The Tylosaurus snatched a German crewmember of the deck of the sub,and then right after,a Plesiosaurus attacked Doug McClure,but was them machine gunned down and became dinner itself...

I thought there was just a plesiosaur. Is there any mention of the mosasaur by name?

One of my favorite dinosaur movies honestly, taking into consideration that most old dinosaurs movies were of a B-movie quality.

No,it was never identified in the movie.But the model maker Roger Dicken based it on a restoration by Charles R. Knight which happened to be Tylosaurus. :)Most of the other prehistoric animals like the Diplodocus and Styracosaurus were based on Burian paintings.

Wonder how that would taste....

"Look at that big crocodile!"

....... most old dinosaurs movies were of a B-movie quality.

Most new Dinosaur movies are as well . At least the ones that come from Hollywood.

[CityRaptor]

Especially the Asylum stuff. Which also made a Version of "The Land that Time forgot".
Unlike the old ones, those lack charme.

Probably slightly fishy.

"Look at that big crocodile!"

Well, none of them was an expert.

I also like that Version of the Movie. I have also read the book it was based on.
