Talk:Monster of Aramberri

The colossal Liopleurodon in WWD was not based on the Monster of Aramberri but on fragmentary fossils from the Oxford Clay. It literally says so in the tie-in Walking with Dinosaurs: The Evidence, co-written by David Martill, one of the chief advisors for the series and the main one for "Cruel Sea". No mention of any Mexican fossils is made.

Following this, it may not have been a juvenile at all. And I never heard of the Monster of Aramberri being a liopleurodon. --Ornitholestes (talk) 16:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

The page needs several modifications, many informations have no reference and could be the primary belief of some amateurs. I'll help to modify it, it could great that this article has a good rating.

As this specimen is not totally described yet, there's no comparison required with other large pliosaurids species and even less with the extinct megalodon shark.

Only some over-enthusiastic media, when the discovery was made in 2002, 10 years ago, have stated this animal to be 20 m long. I have never heard of the 60 tons body mass estimate anywhere.

The two research papers about it (2003-2007) talks about an animal about 15 m, which is indeed possibly the largest of all pliosaurs species.

It seems that it's actual status as a juvenile have been revised in the 2007 publication.

Be careful with sources, Wiki needs reliable references and in this case, peer reviewed publications or public talks from scientists are welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tehd (talk • contribs) 04:21, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

: I know. I think there are so many modifications needed, that it will be a lot of work, epecially without having the Monster of Aramberri scietifically described. but there are several other pliosaurs also estimated at 15m, at least Predator X and Pliosaurus macromerus. It would be good, if there was a complete scientific revision about pliosaurs. --Ornitholestes (talk) 07:31, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I think it is not anything new. I think it might by a known animal from the fossil record.
