I gleaned it from Infinity Blade's post. You may want to ask him. I meant this:

"(It was) just chaos, you saw monstrous amounts of white water and then dolphins go flying up in the air, a killer whale would jump out of the water, grab it and body-slam it,"
"Body slamming" just seems to mean the orca was positioned on top of the dolphin when they were diving back into the water.

Hmm, that description somehow sounds like it means something different than you by "body slam". It sounds more like ramming, or biting at high speed.

To me, body slamming means ramming into something with one's body cavity

"with one’s body cavity"? Lol what?
I do think I already knew what you meant, that was my point. What the article meant is probably not the same. "jump out of the water, grab it and body-slam it". A sequence of events. That sounds like the "body slamming" is either meant as a synonym for slamming into the animal with jaws open, or as doing something with it after biting it.
Anyway, you are giving a lot on that single use of the two words "body slam" there.

Ah.
Then yeah, bodyslamming might not happen after all.

Anyway, this match is no more relevant than a "large white shark vs medium-sized beaked whale".

Anyway, this match is no more relevant than a "large white shark vs medium-sized beaked whale". About as much, yeah. Now, I gotta go back and finish this same debate on another site. Whee.

Ichthyosaurs were likely faster than whales their size. Megalodon probably wouldn’t be able to catch it. At head on combat, Shastasaurus would win. Sharks don’t go head on with their prey, it would work.

Sharks aren’t head on creatures

If sharks aren't head on creatures, I can't even describe what that makes Shastasaurus.

If they are head on their spotted if they are spotted it will be difficult for them to escape the Shastasaurus. Like you said Shastasaurus was slender for it’s size.

...And then what? What in the world is Shastasaurus going to do to C. megalodon? It doesn't have any obvious weapons on its body, it appears safe to rule out the possibility of ramming, and it doesn't even seem to hold a substantial mass advantage over the shark. What are we supposed to make of this aside from the shark tearing this ichthyosaur to pieces?
