I'm not sure. It would be kind of like a penguin hunting an oceanic sunfish.

an audult Bananogmius was too large, but maybe the babies could have been on the menu (that is, if they lived in the same areas where Hesperornis hunted).

I think it would have been off its menu too, Bananogmius wasn't only long but also quite tall, not to mention that tall dorsal fin.

Yes but were there any animals that prey upon that fsh ???

Maybe a mososaurid ??? Platecarpus or Tylosaurus

a Tylosaurus was found with remains of Pentanogmius in it's stomach.
I guess Large mosasaurs, sharks, giant squids and possibly large Xiphactinus could have preyed on it (speaking of Audult Pentanogmius here, babies could have been on the menu of pretty much anything).

Would a 5m juvenile plesiosaurus be able to swim trough the Shallow sanctuaries that were there in the Cretaceous ???

And would a xiphactinus be able to eat a battelite (straight ammonite)

Iguanodon, discovered in the 1820s by geologist William Buckland. ;)
Actually, it was yes, Iguanodon, but it was discovered in 1822 by Mary Ann and Gideon Mantell.
Also, in 1676, a Megalosaurus thigh bone was discovered. :dino: B-)

It depends on what you mean by lethal. However, I would say anything over 5 meters is a big threat to humans.

it depends how shallow they are.

and those are called Baculites, and IMO Xiphactinus looks more adapted to a diet of other, non-shelled animals (fish, squids, small reptiles ...)

Any site with explanations behind this would probably be useful. :)
