Liopleurodon

Liopleurodon is a relatively common and well preserved fossil from several marine deposits throughout Europe. It was a type of pliosaur, or short-necked plesiosaur.

Pliosaurs are a group of plesiosaurs. Plesiosaurs are one of a type of reptiles that returned to the sea. They appeared in Early Jurassic times and rapidly split into two major groups: long-necked forms like Cryptoclidus, and short-necked forms, or pliosaurs like Liopleurodon.

It had four large paddle-shaped limbs, which made it a powerful swimmer. At almost 25 m long Liopleurodon was the biggest carnivore that ever existed. It had an enormous 3 metre long mouth which contained teeth twice as long as those of Tyrannosaurus. These were arranged in a distinctive rosette at the end of its snout. The remains of Liopleurodon attacks are also preserved in the fossil record. Half-eaten ichthyosaurs and teeth marks in plesiosaur flippers are clear evidence of their voracious appetites.

The sea dinosaur called Leviathan were supposed to be one of the largest of the Sea creatures. This webauthor also mentions two others that I had not heard of. They are the Sauropod dinosaur and the Hadrosaur,

I don't think there were any aquatic dinosaurs. Those things were just big reptiles.
