[edit] Coiling neck

Is the image showing the bent neck accurate? I just read that another plesiosaur, Nichollsia, was unable to coil its neck, and I was wondering if it was actually possible for any plesiosaur to do this. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 14:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

None of the necks look coiled to me. The second one is slightly flexed, but that's not what they mean when they say it couldn't coil, that's referring to the old school illustrations of snake-like, super-flexible necks. They were pretty inflexible, but not completely rigid, even as much as say Tanystropheus. Dinoguy2 (talk) 23:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
