ichthyosauria
Ichthyosauria, often referred to as ichthyosaurs, is an extinct group of marine reptiles that resembled dolphins and fish. The group appeared during the Mesozoic Era, including throughout the Jurassic period, and their fossil records are widespread globally. They are characterized by their streamlined bodies adapted for high-speed swimming, large eyes, and their variety of dental structures depending on their dietary habits. Despite their fish-like appearance, they are not fishes but are more related to reptiles and dinosaurs.
