I started working on this for Grey months ago but got sidetracked by work.

I have plenty of space left, so if you guys have any suggestions on adds so far.

*note*, the pliosaur represented is meant to be the weymouth pliosaur in size. i couldnt find a decent picture so i just used one of liopleurodon and scaled it to that size.

Fantastic, just please change that sperm whale depiction, that one is ridiculous.
I'll post a replacement suggestion later if you want.

Alright, there is a site of one great cetacean artist but it will take more time to track it down again.
I'm also on the phone and it's not the easiest way..I'll try tomorrow.

Leedsichthys had really that size? because it says that it was much small...

As for The ROC scale,

I think more accurate sperm whale (this is an old depiction), Leedsichthys (the BBC shape is actually biased, there is one much better) and meg (the BBC depiction has bad proportions about the fins and the back of the body) can be improved easily.

Shastasaurus has sadly no actual well profiled depiction I saw.

I think other large pliosaurs depictions can be found too.

What about this Shastasaurus:

I´ve got some pliosaurs in my gallery, maybe there is one that fits among them:

TheROC, couldn't find that one, but found enough other stuff you can pick a sperm whale from. Also, two nice visual comparison charts on their own:

I had some minutes left I didn´t know what to do in, so I though I could try doing a comparison.

I´t pretty self explaining. one grid segment=1m

The uppermost Ichthyosaur is that 15m lower jurassic one Forrest (or who was it?) once mentioned. the 12m shark is C. chubutensis.
Shastasaurus is 23m as stated on palaeos. the plesiosaur is mauisaurus which was said to be 20m

I didn´t spend much time on it, and I know it isn´t possible to make the "perfect comparison". there´ll always be some people who aren´t happy with it.

Perhaps some of the large crocodilians

Paleo needs update Theropod ! S.sikanniensis has been "downsized" at 21 m.

Stuffed adult Sunda Clouded Leopard and small female subadult Borneon Sun Bear. The former is a much larger cat that a lot of people would think.

Middle : Saltwater Crocodile
Back Left : Clouded Leopard
Back Right : Orangutan
The two front ones mounted are species of Macaque, unfortunatley can't remember what the two at the very front are.
