		Extrapolating from Kronosaurus, a team of paleontologists estimated the new monster at 17 to 20 meters (around 56 to 65 feet) long--the size of a large sperm whale--with a weight 50 metric tons.
		Kronosaurus has long enjoyed a reputation as the largest known plesiosaur, supposedly approaching 15 meters (50 feet) in length--based on the spectacular mounted specimen in the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology.
		Kronosaurus boyacensis is unusual for its thickened ribs (not known in other specimens identified as Kronosaurus-- or in other large pliosaurs for that matter), though the bones need to be studied in cross-section to see if they were truly pachyostosed (made of heavy, dense bone) rather than spongy or hollow.

		The type specimen for Kronosaurus queenslandicus is a mandible (lower jaw) fragment with 6 teeth discovered by Andrew Crombie from Hughendon, Queensland, in 1899.
		However the uncertainty surrounding the original Kronosaurus queenslandicus material from Australia means that much more research needs to be done on the genus before being certain of how closely related this new Kronosaurus species was, or whether it deserves to be within the genus at all.
		The rounded teeth may have been used to crush the hard shells of the ammonites, with the long pointed snout and sharper teeth towards the front of the jaw being used to capture the prey.

		Secondly, Leviathan was much harder to kill than Behemoth due to his impenatrable, unbreakable, armor plating covering his entire body.
		No dinosaur; not even their underwater contemporaries that resembled crocodiles such as Kronosaurus, Tylosaurus, and Liopleurodon ever had such armor.
		Despite efforts made by YECs to regard Leviathan to be a dinosaur or a sea reptile like Kronosaurus, careful examination reveals to us that the assertion of Leviathan being a dinosaur is false.
