Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate dinosaur restoration.

Reason: The head of Elasmosaurus was erroneously placed by Cope on the "short end" now known to be the tail. The mosasaur has a long neck, and the Dryptosaurus has too many fingers, a too small head, and is in a "tripod-pose".

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of WikiProject Dinosaurs on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
