摘要：
The genometry of plesiosaur flippers was studied. Plesiosaur were the marine reptiles found during the mesozoic era. Pliosauromorphs had low-aspect-ratio flippers optimized for maneuverability and attack. It was concluded that rather than lurking, they probably cruised leisurely over long distances in search of smaller, less elusive prey.
