''Callawayasaurus'' is a genus of plesiosaur from the family Elasmosauridae. When the first ''Callawayasaurus'' fossil was first discovered by Samuel Paul Welles in 1962, it was described as ''Alzadasaurus colombiensis'' before being moved into its current genus by Kenneth Carpenter in 1999.〔Carpenter, K. 1999. "Revision of North American elasmosaurs from the Cretaceous of the Western Interior". ''Paludicola'' 2(2):148-173.〕 ==Etymology== ''Callawayasaurus'' is named in honor of the paleontologist Jack M. Callaway, editor of ''Ancient Marine Reptiles'' who, as Carpenter put it, "in his brief career as a vertebrate paleontologist, did much to improve our understanding of marine reptiles".〔 The familiar suffix, ''-saurus'' comes from the Greek ''sauros'' (σαυρος), meaning "lizard" or "reptile."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= ppne.co.uk entry on ''Callawayasaurus'' )〕
