Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration. Reason: Anthropomorphization aside, visible scleral rings and overly reptilian bodies on ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs have lifted necks. |

Ichthyosaurs attending a lecture on fossilised human remains. Lithograph by Sir Henry de la Bèche, 1830, after his drawing. Caption at bottom reads: A Lecture.— "You will at once perceive," continued Professor Ichthyosaurus, "that the skull before us belonged to some of the lower order of animals; the teeth are very insignificant, the power of the jaws trifling, and altogether it seems wonderful how the creature could have procured food." |
