What Wikipedia says

Macroplata (meaning "big plate") is an extinct genus of Early Jurassic rhomaleosaurid plesiosaur. Like other plesiosaurs, Macroplata probably lived on a diet of fish, using its sharp needle-like teeth to catch prey. Its shoulder bones were fairly large, indicating a powerful forward stroke for fast swimming.
