Oh yes of course. I can tell from the shape of the shark (had two dorsal fins that would've helped it to steer with precision). I mostly think of it as being a Jurassic shark but was quite long lived. A good depiction of the Elasmosaurus as well.

I made the Plesiosaur out of the shark that I made out of a fish that I made out of a dragonfly wing that I drew. Isn’t Photoshop evolution a wonderful thing?!

This looks good. I like the light coming down from the waters surface. Keep up the good work!
What's the shark that the Elasmosaurus is preying on?

Thanks W, the shark is Hybodus; they both lived in the Campanian stage of the late Cretaceous
