Leedsichthys has been featured extensively in the books and website
(http://www.trollart.com/STRANGECRITTERS.html) of Ray Troll, although the
amount of material this is based on I'm uncertain of. Leedsichthys was a
pachycormid, a group of fairly diverse actinopterygians that were either full-
fledged teleosts or their sister group.
