Lausiaca
Lausiaca is a genus of extinct marine reptiles belonging to the family Pliosauridae, a group of short-necked plesiosaurs. The genus was first described in 1872 by paleontologist Richard Owen based on fossil remains discovered in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation of England. Lausiaca is characterized by its large skull, powerful jaws, and robust body. The exact size of Lausiaca is difficult to determine due to the incomplete nature of the fossils, but estimates suggest it was a medium-sized pliosaur, likely reaching lengths of up to 6 meters (20 feet). Its diet is believed to have consisted of fish, ammonites, and possibly other marine reptiles.
The fossil record of Lausiaca is primarily found in Late Jurassic deposits, indicating it inhabited the shallow
