Re: Prehistoric Plankton Predators & Other Behemoths
It's _Leedsichthys_, actually, if I may correct the typo -- _L. problematicus_,
from the Middle Jurassic of England. According to some recent estimates it was
ca. 25 m long, which would make it easily the bigest known fish of all time:

Talking of marine monsters, does anyone know if the recently discovered
23-metre-long Carnian ichthyosaur from Canada has been officially named?
