Spino Pelican

 

If it ain't ichthyosaurs, it's these guys. 

It's cool, but it also sucks because Irritator is yet another case of scientific colonialism and the fossil black market. Not only that, but fossil poachers broke and defiled the skull to smuggle it out of the country. It was named "Irritator" because it was irritating to figure out which parts were real bones and which were plaster.
