Summary

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

Reason: Head on the wrong end.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
Description The "head-on-the-wrong-end" version of Elasmosaurus platyurus published by Cope (1869, Pl. II, Fig. 1). The ten dorsal vertebrae shown in black approximate those noted by Cope to be missing from the type specimen. Note that Cope did not include the hind paddles in this figure in part due to his erroneous belief that Elasmosaurus was propelled by its extremely long “tail”.
