    Plioplatecarpus sp. (Mosasaur)

    perhaps better suited to the palaeo forum

    Yeah well done both of yiz.
    Genus and everything, wow.

    And where palaentology deals with fossil animals it's likely still within the discipline of zoology.

    Well done Sid.
    African softshell turtle.
    EDIT: I think the picture you posted is an Asian species but... who cares. I would've said "correct" for any turtle.
    Love turtles.
