Description: Dryptosaurus (formerly Lealaps) confronting Elasmosaurus orientalis, with Mosasaurus and Osteopygis behind. Hadrosaurus forages in background, and Thoracosaurus crawls up on the banks. Note that the head of Elasmosaurus was erroneously placed by Cope on the "short end" now known to be the tail. From: Cope, E.D. "The fossil reptiles of New Jersey," in: American Naturalist, vol. 3 (1869), pp. 84-91.
