Ichthyosaurs are marine reptiles known from hundreds of fossils from the time of the dinosaurs. They ranged in size from less than one to over 20 metres in length.[...] says lead author Dr Valentin Fischer of the University of Liege in Belgium. Until recently, it was thought that ichthyosaurs declined gradually in diversity through multiple extinction events during the Jurassic period. [...] However, an entirely new ichthyosaur from the Kurdistan region of Iraq substantially alters this view of the group.
