Summary

Description
English: Skeletal diagram of the Cuban pliosaurid Gallardosaurus iturraldei. The known material is shown in white and based on its original description.[1] Gray represents restored material, mostly modeled after Peloneustes philarchus,[2][3] slightly modified after Pliosaurus kevani[4] to appear more generic. While sometimes considered a close relative of Peloneustes, a more recent analysis failed to recover a stable position for it.[5]
