Discovery

When was the futabasaurus discovered? The reason I ask is that Doraemon volume 10 (published 1976) mentions a plesiosaur called futaba-suzuki-ryuu.

「いや、おそれいった！これは首長竜の一種でフタバスズキリュウだ！白亜紀の日本近海に住んでいたんだ」(Doraemon, page 175) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.236.147 (talk) 22:48, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
