There are two accepted/recognised species; Liopleurodon ferox and Liopleurodon pachydeirus. The largest species, also far better understood than the rarer L.pachydeirus, is Liopleurodon ferox. This well-known species, L.ferox, is estimated to have grown up to: 6.39 metres (approx. 21 feet) in length (vs 25 metres/82 feet in the TV series which popu...
Taxonomic Classification (Systematic Palaeontology): Liopleurodonlived during the Late/Upper Jurassic Period, in the Callovian, Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian Stages (in chronological order, left to right; followed by perhaps the Tithonian Stage, if it is to be believed it lived into the very last Jurassic stage)
"Liopleurodon", means "smooth-sided tooth", which derives from Ancient Greek words: leios ("smooth") + pleura ("side" or "rib") + odon, ("tooth") The genus Liopleurodon was named in 1873 by French Palaeontologist and Ichthyologist Henri Émile Sauvage, based on rather limited fossil evidence (three teeth, none of which being from the same sites or i...

Liopleurodon (/ ˌ l aɪ oʊ ˈ p l ʊər ə d ɒ n /; meaning 'smooth-sided teeth') is an extinct genus of large, carnivorous marine reptile belonging to the Thalassophonea, a clade of short-necked pliosaurid plesiosaurs.
Liopleurodon (nombre latino que significa «dientes de lados lisos») es un género de un gran reptil marino carnívoro perteneciente a los Pliosauroidea, un clado de plesiosaurios de cuello corto.
Liopleurodon was a species of large pliosaur from the late Jurassic period. It lived in the deep seas near the European coastlines, in vast territories. With a maximum length of 25 meters, this creature was one of the largest carnivores to exist.
10 de jul. de 2023 · More than two decades ago, the depiction of a 25-meter-long Liopleurodon in the BBC’s documentary series, Walking with Dinosaurs, instigated fervent discussions about the true size of this pliosaur.
