OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Shastasaurus is an genus of ichthyosaur from the middle and late Triassic, and is the largest marine reptile that has yet been found. Specimens have been reported from the United States, Canada, and China. It has been interpreted as a specialised suction-feeder on unshelled cephalopods and fish. Shastasaurus lived during the late Triassic period. S. sikanniensis is known from the British Columbia, dating to the middle Norian age (about 210 million years ago). The largest species, S. sikkanniensis, measured 21 metres (69 ft). Shastasaurus was highly specialized, and differed considerably from other ichthyosaurs. It was very slender in profile. The largest specimens had a ribcage slightly less than 2 metres (6.6 ft) deep despite a distance of over 7 metres (23 ft) between its flippers.
