This paleontological restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.
Reason: Head too demarcated from neck, dorsal profile of skull too flat, forefin shape does not match fossils, dorsal fin size and shape do not match fossils, hindfins should be half the size of forefins, hindfins lacking in flesh, caudal fin shape incorrect (compared to [1])
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
