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.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
