Plesiosaurus are an order of extinct, large marine Sauropterygian Reptile. It is a typical early member of the order Plesiosauria. I...t had a worldwide oceanic distribution in many continents and countries, one of which was Morocco. They first appeared in the latest Triassic period about 203 million years ago, and became very common in the Jurassic period. The Plesiosaur varied in length from about 5 feet to about 49 feet. It had a broad flat body with a short tail and long neck. Plesiosaurus ate fish, belemnites and other prey. Its U-shaped jaw and sharp teeth were probably used as a fish trap. It could have used its neck as a rudder when chasing its prey.
