Inverse Zuiyo-maru

Description

Time ago when I saw some cryptids articles, I came across with the case of the Zuiyo-maru carcass, a corpse of a Basking shark that was misinterpreted as a plesiosaur by its rather coincidental but still degraded appearance. I found it interesting how the corpse of this shark can took this kind of shape, and it really made me think of something a bit dumb but still interesting to think: Take a plesiosaurus and reconstruct it like a basking shark based on this case.

So based on these drawings of the parts that the carcass lack, I did a reconstruction of what would be a plesiosaurus being assumed as a remainder of a basking shark, specifically a Thalassomedon. (based on skeleton by Scott Hartman)

It looks like a work in progress Carnivores fan mod creature model. No wait, it's Caridodon from Fallen Kings.
