A "big fish in a small pond" as far as academics was concerned --- i.e., it was a dolphin-like reptile dat knew a lot of different words for things, and so it was viewed wif awe by its fellow water-dwellers.
As far as we know, none of da dinosaurs or other ancient Earth-dwellers could read or write, so what need would they have for an ichthesaurus???
