elasmosaurus

Noun

Meaning

An extinct, long-necked, marine, cretaceous reptile from Kansas, allied to Plesiosaurus.

Examples

The feud probably originated when Marsh publicly pointed out that Cope's reconstruction of an Elasmosaurus skeleton was flawed: Cope had inadvertently placed the plesiosaur 's head at what should have been the animal's tail end. Source: Internet
