Hi, the Oregon 'thalattosaur' mentioned is actually a Thalattosuchia and not a thalattosaur at all. The name is similar but Thalattosuchia is an ancient crocodile that existed in the Jurassic and the two reptiles aren't actually related (as far as anyone knows, anyway). http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070322-crocodile.html citation on the Oregon thalattosuchia if anyone wants it. Since it is not a thalattosaur I am going to edit out mention of Oregon.
