Prehistoric Seas-Episode 8: The Most Strangest Sea Monster

French Narrator: As the quest for fish with the millionth dollar continues our heroes find themselves in China and Nevada 240 million years ago in the Triassic period. It was home to a mysterious creature that stumped scientists a nd dangerous threat looms in these waters

The 6th Most Deadliest Sea of All Time

Time: Triassic 240 million years ago

Place: China-Nevada

Sea Monsters/Hazards: Atopodentatus and Thalattoarchon

Other animals: Shansisuchus

[The scene shows the S.S. Cheapskate on deck was Thomas talking to Kids Next Door Operatives Numbuhs 2 and 4]

Thomas: "We are in China, 240 million years ago in the mid Triassic still looking for that first, but Numbuh 2 and Numbuh 4 get look at this."

[Thomas shows the kids an image picture of a reptile lizard like creature with a walrus like head with bristle jaws.]

Both: "Whoa!"

Thomas: "This is one of the strangest marine reptiles that ever lived Atopodentatus. This image shows them as filter feeders, But I don't think so unless we find them ourselves."

Numbuh 2: "You're joking right?"

4: "It's weird, Mate. but worth it."

[The boat were docked at the shore everyone was in their swimsuits doing beach activities, Numbuh 3 was building a sandcastle, Spongebob and Numbuh 1 surfing, Lor, Lynn, Ash, and Jake were playing volleyball, and the others were either swimming or sunbathing.]

Numbuh 3: "There my sandcastle is all done!"

Lor: "Catch Lynn!" [Punches the volleyball]

Lynn: "I'm open! I got it! I got it!"

[But the athlete girl trips on a small rock]

Lynn: "oof!" [and the ball hits her head.] "Ow!"

Spongebob: "Cowabunga!"

Numuh 1: "Whoo!"

[Thomas was walking along trying to spot some life.]

Thomas: "Nothing much on this shore other than that creature basking on that rock

Carver: "um Thomas?! Look!"

Rufus(chattering)

[Carver was pointing to the creature which was crocodile like in appearance basking on the rock.]

Thomas: "That is an archosaur called Shansisuchus. Archosaurs were closely related to crocodiles and some took to living on land. Unifornately, the land predator role would beshort lived after the Triassic and carnivorous theropod Dinosaurs will fill in the role."

[Nearby Star and Marco were playing with a beach ball. Star and Marco run around the beach with a beach ball, laughing and whooping. They hit the beach ball back and forth. Star uses a Rainbow Fist to hit the ball high into the air.]

Marco: "I got it! I-!"

[Marco gets engulfed by the water. When it washes away, Marco has a bunch of seaweed on his head. He catches the beach ball.]

Marco: "Got it."

Star: "You know what you look like?"

Marco: "um…Sea monster?"

Star: "No, try again."

Marco: "Sand mermaid?"

Star: "No,"(giggling) "Yes, I'm just kidding."

Marco: "I knew it."(Laughs)

[Scene cuts to Star and Marco making Marco look like a sand mermaid; he has a starfish and seashell on his chest to resemble a bra, and his legs are covered in sand shaped like a mermaid tail. Then a strange creature came to the shore to bask on a rock.]

Star: "Marco what is that?"

Marco: "I don't know, It looks like a lizard, but with a hammerhead?"

[It was a lizard-like reptile with webbed feet similar to the marine iguana of the galapagoes with a hammerhead shape snout.]

Thomas: "Is that what I think it is?"

[Thomas realize this was the creature except he knew that the image he showed the group earlier was wrong]"

Numbuh 4: "Who's that thing?"

Thomas: "This is it! This is the Atopodentatus! It seems the scientists were wrong about the head they actually look more like hammerhead shape. The skull was badly damaged when discovered, But two more complete skulls were found giving us a better picture of this bizarre marine reptile."

All: "Whoa! Cool!"

Thomas: "This one is basking on the rocks and perhaps there are some underwater and find out what they're eating."

[Soon the team dove underwater and see several more Atopodentatus feeding on a bed of algae.]

Thomas: "I see this kind of behavior with Marine iguanas from the Galápagos Islands

The hammer-shaped head with a bank of chisel-shaped teeth were useful in rooting the seabed for food. Look it's eating algae, Atopodentatus is the earliest known herbivorous marine reptile by about 8 million reason why plant eating marine animals whether mammals or reptiles are rare is because it takes a lot of energy to eat and process the aquaitc vegetation like land herbivores."

[Soon after that our heroes were on our their as we sailed from China to Nevada as they rested, but the engine motor broke down again.]

Lana: "The engine broke down again, It's worse than Lily's swim diaper."

LIncoln: "Seriously?"

{Then we get a beeping on the sonar radar, a strange serpentine figure is coming to the boat.]

Mr. Krabs: "Is it the fish with my millionth dollar?"

Thomas: "Nope, it's a ichythosaur, Thalattoarchon!"

Mr. Krabs: "So not the fish?"

[The group sees the Thalattoarchon it resembled the Cymbospondylus, but bigger and larger.]

Ron: "I get the feeling it's circling around the boat."

Thomas: "Thalattoarchon is thought to have been one of the first marine macropredators capable of eating prey that was similar in size to itself, an ecological role that can be compared to that of modern orcas. It lived four million years after the first appearance of ichthyosaurs in the Early Triassic and is therefore the oldest known marine reptile to have been an apex predator."

[Soon the ichthyosaur it had started to ram the boat with it's body and slamming it's tail to create waves.]

All(Yelping and screaming: "Whoa! We're under attack! Take offensive Maneuvers!"

[Then the ichthyosaur reahces into the deck of the boatand to try to grab us from the boatCat scratched it's head while Lynn hit it with a paddle as it dove back into the water.]

Charlie: "Sandy we need to find an anomaly portal!"

Sandy: "I'm on it partner!"

Tracey: "When's the engine gonna be repaired?"

Lana Loud: "Hard to say"

Lola: "Lans hurry!"

Lana Loud: "I'm almost and done!"

[Soon the engine was repaired and operation and just in time when Sandy spots another portal.]

Sandy: "Thar she blows! There's an anomaly portal!"

Mr. Krabs: "Full speed ahead!"

[The S.S. Cheapskate sailed forward fast and into the portal avoiding the jaws of death into another time period.]

Frenchie: "After avoiding the bizarre and dangers of the triassic, it's time for our heroes to leave the Sixth Most Deadliest Sea behind and into the next period which is full of dangerous and monstrous sea monsters."

This has been another original chapter, In the next chapter, our heroes visit England in the Late Jurassic period full of marine reptiles that most of you will recgonize and Lillie must confront her biggest fear with one of them and it will have a lot more speculative behaviors.

References in this chapter with the Thalattoarchon attack is based on the Mosasaur attack at the beginning of season 4 of Jurassic World: camp Cretaceous

This chapter will have a lot of speculative behaviors so you can suggest additional dialogues, quotes, scenes, and natural or speculative behaviors for the prehistoric animals.
