I remember designing a really wacky-looking plesiosaurus back in my earlier years in origami. It had strange spikes on the back and was pretty difficult to fold. I highly recommend a 35 - 40 cm square sheet of thin paper. If you've known me for quite some time, you know which one I am talking about and it's this one:

This version has a closed belly, teeth, a shorter tail, thicker body, and better flippers! :) Though shaping the model can be a real pain but yeah I'm satisfied with this version for now. Sooner in the future, I will try to lengthen the neck and make the head better by adding more teeth and better head shape.
The finished model should look like this:

Enjoy and Good luck! :)
From a 12.5 inch square of double MC Splatter Green unryu paper. About 9 inches long and 4 inches tall.
The fins all came undone en route to the convention due to the cold humid air both on the plane and in San Francisco, which is why it wasn't as neat as it should have been.
Post PCOC photos.
The photos I took at PCOC came out awful, so I took some photos of pieces I displayed. These photos were taken in January.
Journey to the Center of the Earth is a classic 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull, encountering many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, before eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy, at the Stromboli volcano.After descending into the crater, the three travellers set off into the bowels of the Earth, encountering many strange phenomena and great dangers, including a chamber filled with combustible gas, and steep-sided wells around the "path". After taking a wrong turn, they run out of water and Axel almost dies, but Hans taps into a neighbouring subterranean river. Lidenbrock and Axel name the resulting stream the "Hansbach" in his honour and the three are saved. At another point, Axel becomes separated from the others and is lost several miles from them. Luckily, a strange acoustic phenomenon allows him to communicate with them from some miles away, and they are soon reunited.
After descending many miles, following the course of the Hansbach, they reach an unimaginably vast cavern. This underground world is lit by electrically charged gas at the ceiling, and is filled with a very deep subterranean ocean, surrounded by a rocky coastline covered in petrified trees and giant mushrooms. The travelers build a raft out of trees and set sail. The Professor names this sea as the Lidenbrock Sea. While on the water, they see several prehistoric creatures such as a giant Ichthyosaurus, which fights with a Plesiosaurus and wins. After the battle between the monsters, the party comes across an island with a huge geyser, which Lidenbrock names "Axel's Island".
The travellers continue to explore the coastline, and find a passageway marked by Saknussemm as the way ahead. However, it is blocked by what appears to be a recent cave-in and two of the three, Hans and the Professor, despair at being unable to hack their way through the granite wall. The adventurers plan to blast the rock with gun cotton and paddle out to sea to escape the blast. Upon executing the plan, however, they discover that behind the rockfall was a seemingly bottomless pit, not a passage to the centre of the earth. The travellers are swept away as the sea rushes into the large open gap in the ground. After spending hours being swept along at lightning speeds by the water, the raft ends up inside a large volcanic chimney filling with water and magma. Terrified, the three are rushed upwards, through stifling heat, and are ejected onto the surface from a side-vent of a stratovolcano. When they regain consciousness, they discover that they have been ejected from Stromboli, a volcanic island located in southern Italy. They return to Hamburg to great acclaim – Professor Lidenbrock is hailed as one of the great scientists of history, Axel marries his sweetheart Gräuben, and Hans eventually returns to his peaceful life in Iceland. The Professor has some regret that their journey was cut short.

Plesiosaurus ("near to lizard"), a large marine sauropterygian reptile that lived during the early part of the Jurassic Period.
Dinosaur Court
This series of sculpted dinosaurs and extinct mammals was commissioned in 1854 and unveiled in 1856. This was designed to accompany the Crystal Palace in its new home in Bromley.
The beasts were built by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, and were the first of their kind. Hawkins was assisted with Sir Richard Owen providing some technical guidance on the dinosaurs.
The design of some of these dinosaurs are rather innacurate, but others are believed to be quite realistic.
Crystal Palace Park came from the Penge Place estate when, in 1854, the Crystal Palace was moved from Hyde Park (where it was set up in 1851 for The Great Exhibition).
The Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton, who also played a role in the relocation and designing the new site with its Italian gardens and terraces.
The area waned in the late c19th, and despite hosting the Festival of Empire in 1911, the managing company declared bankruptcy. In 1913 the Earl of Plymouth purchased it to save it, and a public supscription was raised to purchase it for the nation.
It was a naval training ground during the Great War, after which it was the first Imperial War Museum.
The 1920s saw a programme of restoration and rejuvenation, but 30 November 1936 an office fire broke out and the building burned down.
Since then the Park has hosted various events and partial development. Today it is primarily a public park.

Notice that the Pleisiosaurs, in the background, are lumbering out of the sea, on to the land, like seals... Today palaeontologists do not think this was possible, and that both creatures were totally aquatic. They gave birth to live young, so there was no reason to lay eggs on land as other reptiles do. Also the Ichthyosaur should have a fluked tail like a fish, rather than a lizard like tail.
Designed and folded by me.
I folded this a long time ago, but was keeping it secret. It goes along with the Diplocaulus for the challenge, so here it is. It has a closed back and closed underside.
Folded from a square of "splatter green" paper, coated in MC.

El “Plesiosaurus” es un reptil marino de 3 a 5 metros de longitud que vivió al principio del Jurásico, El nombre del Plesiosaurus significa “cercano al lagarto” por la creencia de las especies extintas de “reptiles antediluvianos" en los primeros registros fósiles.
El “Plesiosaurus” era un reptil adaptado a la vida marina (aguantando las respiración por 20 minutos o más) por lo cual su mandíbula y dientes evolucionaron para funcionar como una trampa dentada para peces y “belemnites” (calamares primitivos), su largo cuello y cabeza pequeña en forma de triángulo según una hipótesis funcionaba como un timón que podía cambiar la dirección de una persecución mientras sus cuatro aletas le impulsaban a una gran velocidad hidrodinámica.
Dentro de la saga de “DinoCrisis” los “Plesiosaurus” son enemigos recurrentes en las instalaciones sumergidas del reactor y los muelles, para eliminar su amenaza se recomienda utilizar el arma de agujas y la granada acuática con “Regina” la mujer más valiente de los mares primitivos.
Como dato final existieron gran variedad de “Plesiosaurus” que tenían diferencias morfológicas con el largo de sus cuellos y tamaño de su cabeza como los “Elasmosaurus” y los “Pliosauroideos”.
Today we went for a wander along to the Warren in Folkestone to dig up a few dinosaurs !
The coastline between Folkestone and Dover exposes rocks of Cretaceous age (142-65 million years old), including two rock exposures of particular importance. The series of cliff sections at the western end of the site, with some 50m of Folkestone Beds (Lower Greensand) and Gault, represents the most important single locality for studying these rocks in England.
The Gault Clay exposures in East Wear Bay yield beautifully preserved fossils, including ammonites, bivalves and crabs and have also produced the fossilised remains of a number of types of marine reptiles including turtles, ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurus and pliosaurs.

designed by paulius mielinis.
after providing a diplodocus for my friend's son I was kindly asked for a swimming saurus. the folding sequence for this nice plesiosaurus is very much fun. it includes several seemingly unneeded steps, but in the end these steps achieve that the model is quite cleant up on the inside, too.
wet folded from a 35cm square of rather thick mottled (leathac?) paper.
