Marine reptiles were not technically "dinosaurs" but some were exceptionally large, such as the pliosaurs, pleisosaurs, icthyosaurs, and mososaurs.
These included:
Archelon - giant turtles
Askeptosaurus - giant eels
Ichthyosaurus - giant fish-like creatures
Liopleuradon - one of the largest
Mosasaurus - one of the first identified from a fossil, a snakelike sea lizard
Stomatosuchus - 36-foot prehistoric crocodile remarkably similar to modern species
Tylosaurus - a sleek 50-ft swimming predator
