Ophthalmosaurus
Ophthalmosaurus (meaning “eye lizard” in Greek) was an ichthyosaur of the Late Jurassic period (165 to 150 million years ago), named for its extremely large eyes. It had a graceful 6 meter long dolphin-shaped body, and its almost toothless jaw was apparently adapted for catching squid and fish.
