The giant sawfish is incredible. He would have ruled the seas wherever he lived.
I think it is interesting the place fossils have been found. They are not exactly connected countries. Does that mean he had a wide range and there are still more fossils to be found.
I love the little stethacanthus. He is such an odd shape. He would have been cute. I wonder if the were numerous. They seem to have had a big range. Have they found many fossils or just a few.

I am trying to picture spinosaurus eating a giant sawfish. It was a dangerous world back then.
There must have been plenty of stethacanthus around. They were probably food for a great many animals.

Certainly the mosasaurs were terrifying and you wouldn't have wanted to swim when they ruled the oceans.

I always liked the sauropods. They seem like large gentle creatures. There was certainly variation in the family and they are found all around the world. They were a herd animal weren't they? Can you imagine a herd of Sauroposeidon. They would have been magnificent. I wonder if there were mixed herds.

Saltasaurus would have looked like a baby compared to the big guys. There is something beautiful and graceful about the sauropods. I know the T.Rex and the velociraptors are exciting and they are the ones people want to hear about, but the big slow moving herds would have been beautiful to watch.
Deep down inside I am still sad that the dinosaurs are gone. The world was a very different place in those days.
