Pachycormus is a smaller relative of the famous Leedsichthys, and it's usually found all flattened. This paper describes some beautiful 3D specimens that give a much better idea of its anatomy. It confirms the absence of pelvic fins in at least some species, but the presence of an anal fin (the CollectA figure gets this backward).
