It occurs in the Cenomanian strata of the Late Cretaceous rock. Its closest relative is the Elasmosaurus and together they make up the family Elasmosauridae. There are six specimens of varying state of preservation on display at various U.S. museums.With a length of 12 metres (39 ft), the neck comprises 62 vertebrae about 6 metres (20 ft) or half the animal. The skull is 47 centimetres (19 in) long, with 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long teeth. The flippers were about 1.5-2 metres (4.9-6.6 ft) long.
