Prehistoric animal skeleton? Identified by an expert as "Ichthyosaur"

Selected for Google Earth [?] - ID: 65441499

These dinosaurs are common sight along the highways in Mississippi. Some of these irrigations sprinklers are 400 - 500 ft long.

The water supply is ample and reliable, so the irrigation in the Delta is the least worry for farmers here.

And a purely scientific discussion of an Expert panel!!

Urias said: Looks like a Macronaria sauropod!

GooGoola said: No can't be a sauropod, the lack of a pelvic girdle rules that out and favours the piscine morphology of an itchyosaur! :~)

I would rather call it aquaosaur! (aqua = water in Latin)

I have seen some of these animals recently in Ontario! They were ready for tough winter....
