Are Pliosaurs Arctic animals? Because it seems every Pliosaur I've seen seems to hang around cold places, England, Norway, Alaska, the Sundance Sea that went into Wyoming from' Alaska.

Could be, but how many warm water Mesozoic fossil sites (deep enough for pliosaurs) are known? (i.e., there might be a sampling bias) J. Spencer 15:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

You do must realize that when pliosaurs were alive, the regions they were found in were tropical or subtropical, as the shapes of microfossil tests of foraminifera and radiolaria found in the same regions are typical of the tests of modern day foraminifera and radiolaria that live in tropical and subtropical waters.--Mr Fink 17:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I have some pics of a pliosaur skeleton from the NHM London which I'm happy to post.Skipperjeru 17:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
