There were no known aquatic dinosaurs. Neither is there any basis upon which to say that any mysterious creature, if there is one, is in any way a Lazarus taxon of some prehistoric group.
My opinion is... there has to be something down there, Loch ness is very deep And when the dinosaurs where whiped out..... Well lets Just say that maybe something survived in What is now Loch Ness.
Yes, but the Loch did not exists 65 million years ago. The entire landmass of the earth was different.

Ah, we are high school boys,
the miserable high school boys.
If we were girls, we could get popular by doing anything:
rock band, jazz band,
karate, kendo, mahjong, cyborg, synchronized swimming...
On the other hand, high school boys are
useless outside battle and sports anime.
But they're recklessly trying to make a slice-of-life anime about us.

JFC, they have the nerve to imply that Triops sp. are somehow dinosaurs, that they are closely related to trilobites and then spelled "nauplius" wrong? Fuck.
Not really, no. It's more different from a dinosaur than we are.
And no, they didn't live at the time of dinosaurs. There were similar species, but the whole of Notostraca is in need of a review, as it hasn't been thoroughly examined since 1938, and only the carapaces were preserved in the Triassic strata. As a result, Triops, especially Triops cancriformis, is somewhat of a waste basket taxon, like Megalosaurus before the recognition of Dinosauria.
Note: I did recognise the sarcasm there. At least I hope that was sarcasm.

That is true, what with being dead already and all.

You know what I mean...
Which part did you mean was sarcasm? If that was directed at me...
