Not bad at 39' ..won't beat Shastasaurus or Shonisaurus though.

Shonisaurus didn't have anything to defend itself with other than its bulk. I can see two or three Thalattoarchons taking one down.

Wow! That's way cool! Way, way cool! Of course, I get excited every time a new discovery is described, but this is very exciting.

Thalattoarchon vs Shonisaurus: FIGHT!

This is such a cool discovery. I hope to see this critter, metriorhynchids, and the extinct physeteroids get more media attention from the sharks, mosasaurs, and pliosaurs
