Pliosaurus adalah kelompok satuan reptil laut pada zaman prasejarah (periode Kimmeridgian hingga Tithonian).^[6] Pliosaurus dapat di golongkan hewan pemakan daging ikan. Pada umumnya Pliosaurus memiliki 2 pasang sirip yang kuat, yang terdiri dari tulang yang dilapisi oleh kulit tebal.^[7] Gigitan pliosaurus dapat melebihi beberapa hewan modern seperti Singa, Harimau, anakonda, dan bahkan melebihi empat kali gigitan Tyranosaurus rex.^[8]

Pliosaurus dapat hidup sekitar 55 tahun. Pliosaurus memiliki beberapa jenis antara lain: Elasmosaurus, Styxsosaurus, Liopleurodon, predator X dan plesiosaurus. Terkadang beberapa Pliosaurus dapat memakan golongannya sendiri.

Salah satu spesies yang telah diteliti, Pliosaurus funkei, berukuran panjang mencapai 33 hingga 42 kaki atau sekitar 10 - 12 meter.^[9]
