On the Pacific Island of Isla Deinonia, or, the Terrible Island, we have a rich and biodiverse Valley, located in Central Deinonia west of the Sierra Giganus.

Caption: A map of Isla Deinonia, with the Valley circled in red and a legend.

On Isla Deinonia, nineteen unique species coexist, with an additional nine subspecies in the form of variants.

Going numerically, we go to number 4, the Deltas. Here we can find Highspine (Variant B), Fishtail, and Turtleshell.

A male (top) and female (bottom) Highspine (Variant B).

Highspine (Variant B)

Height: 10'6" ft

Weight: 6.5 tons

Length: 53'6" ft

Diet: Carnivore/Piscivore

Predators: None

Code: HSB

Inspiration: Oxalaia (2014)

Range: Deltas

Notes: The Highspine (B) is a formidable piscivore in the terrestrial deltas, hunting large sawfish and Turtleshells. They walk on their front limbs to account for a smaller tail. They mostly live in pairs, though when threatened they have been known to defend in groups of three. They are much more specialized and brittle than their northern counterparts. They rarely- though they do- interact or fight with Fishtails, despite sharing the same prey.

A male (top) and female (bottom) Fishtail.

Fishtail

Height: 6'5" ft

Weight: 16.8 tons

Length: 46'8" ft

Diet: Piscivore

Predators: None

Code: FT

Inspiration: Tylosaurus

Range: Fish's Folley, Turtle Bay, Deltas

Notes: The Fishtail is an apex predator of the waters, interacting with other piscivores such as Lowspine, Highspine (Both Variants), and Wingfinger (All Variants). Males earn the affection of mates through the brightness of their heads.

A male (top) and female (bottom) Turtleshell.

Turtleshell

Height: 3'8" ft

Weight: 3.5 tons

Length: 13'6" ft

Diet: Piscivore/Herbivore (Kelp and Jellyfish)

Predators: FT, LS, HSB, HSA, WFA, WFB

Code: TS

Inspiration: Archelon

Range: Turtle Bay, Deltas, Fish's Folley

Notes: Turtleshells get a rough life. They are a primary source of coastal prey for Wingfinger, Fishtail, Highspine, and Lowspine, and while rare, they can be preyed upon by coastal predators, such as Humpback and Necktooth. Even though they have a hardened shell, they're still preyed upon constantly.

Thank you for listening to my TED Talk, and have a good day.

5. Archelon

It’s a giant turtle, what’s not to like

4. Nothosaurus

We seriously need to talk more about marine reptiles like Nothosaurus, they’re very underrated

3. Elasmosaurus

Pleisiosaurs in general are cool but I’m just choosing Elasmosaurus

2. Tylosaurus

I’m too lazy to find an image that doesn’t have a Tustoteuthis in the way. Anyway it’s the biggest Mosasaur and is from Alaska, enough said

1. Ichthyotitan

Biggest marine reptile ever to live so that instantly makes it the best

The Florida Marine Market is one of many Illegal Markets in the world, this is an "independent" meaning they are only found in one location and do not have operations across the world. The Florida Marine Market is located in Southern Florida and is the largest dealer in prehistoric marine life. Although the market does not host official fights, clients are allowed to rent out water tanks to host fights.

Lets take a tour

Here is the view that people flying in will see.

The entrance

The market has also bred three Spinoraptors, which are named after famous living paleontologists Naish, Horner, and Paul

Oh and they have megalodon

In another tank is the massive shonisaurus

The only Pterosaur the market houses is Pteranodon sternbergi

Not all the animals at the market are predators, some are graceful animals, like the Archelon

The final marine animal is Dunkleosteus, that massive placoderm fish

In the middle of the Megalodon habitat is an island containing Australovenators, guests view them through a dome

Oh and they have spinosaurus

Because JWE2 does not have Psittacosaurus and Livyatan, I was unable to add them here, but in the series they will be present

Theoratochelon (meaning huge turtle) is a Protostegid similar to Archelon. I had a lot of trouble making the hexagon pattern on the shell, but then, wehn I was researching Protostegids, I found out that their shells were more like that of Leatherback Sea Turtles than Green Sea Turtles, and didn't have hexagonal scales.

They are about the same size as an Archelon.

If you've seen a fossil or skeleton of a prehistoric animal at a museum, exhibition, etc on this list, mark the name off and see if you can get 5 in a row

While there is a what’s your favourite dinosaur thing and it’s fun but I feel like it’s getting old so I want to do something much more interesting, my 10 favourite reptilian non-dinosaurs.

Anyway, let’s get into it, shall we?

9: Coelurosauravus

8: Fasolasuchus

7: Prestosuchus

6: Archelon

5: Temnodontosaurus

Now before we go onto my number-one favourite prehistoric reptile, I wanna go through some honourable mentions.

Honourable mention 1: Liopleurodon

Honourable mention 2: Globidens (aka Joe Biden’s spirit animal)

Honourable mention 3: Postosuchus

Honourable mention 4: Nothosaurus

Honourable mention 5: Aigialosaurus

Now with the honourable mentions out of the way, I want to show you guys my number 1 favourite prehistoric reptile of all time.

1: Sachicasaurus

And that’s it, what’s your favourite prehistoric reptilian non-dinosaur? Tell me in the comments.
