English: Skeletal diagram of the Cuban pliosaurid Gallardosaurus iturraldei. The known material is shown in white and based on its original description.^[1] Gray represents restored material, mostly modeled after Peloneustes philarchus,^[2][3] slightly modified after Pliosaurus kevani^[4] to appear more generic. While sometimes considered a close relative of Peloneustes, a more recent analysis failed to recover a stable position for it.^[5]
