No, plesiosaurs are not mega-mammals; they are marine reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era. They belong to a group called Sauropterygia and are characterized by their long necks and broad bodies. Unlike mammals, plesiosaurs are reptiles and are more closely related to dinosaurs than to modern mammals.

The first Pterodactylus fossil discovered was found in the 1700's, and though I don't know who found the fossil, it was first described by Cosimo Alessandro Collini. Plesiosaur vertebrae were discovered as early as the 1600's, but they were believed to belong to fish. In 1719, William Stukely was told by Robert Darwin, the great-grandfather of Charles Darwin, about a partial plesiosaur skeleton preserved in a slab of rock. Stukely then described this plesiosaur.
