This paleontological restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.
Reason: The restoration is missing a tail bend, the position of the caudal fin does not correlate to the location of the bend, the eye is too large and too high up on the skull, the neck is too demarcated, the limbs are missing trailing edges and a lot of flesh at their bases
