If anyone was wondering what this beast could *possibly* be, Hall identifies it as “relative of #Clidastes “ — a #Mosasaur living in Lake Michigan in the modern day. The utter dissimilarity of appearance is unexplained in-text; evidently Hall relied on a verbal description from David Peters (?!?!). Hall apparently fails to recognize the #LakeMonster was seen off Chicago and regards an 1867 newspaper as entirely reliable and not prone to any exaggeration or falsification.
