I would really like to see the Ichthyosaur Cymbospondylus in the marine reptile roster in the game either as launch or as a dlc creature due to its unique appearance of looking more like a sea serpent than a typical ichthyosaur body shape. I was introduced the its existence by the walking with dinosaurs spin off Chased by Sea Monsters starring Nigel Marvin, this is how it appeared in the documentary and I believe it would make a great addition to the marine reptile roster.

I think it's too similar in appearance to the Mosa to be included in base game at launch. There are better options available for launch.
Like The Amphibious Nothosaurus?
I don't see them adding Nothosaurus... possibly ever. Being amphibious, I'd assume they'd be considered land animals (the lagoon appears to be for strictly aquatic animals) and when it comes to amphibious options I can't see them picking Nothosaurus over something bigger... like Deinosuchus or maybe Sarcosuchus.
Shonisaurus seems like the Triassic Ichthyosaur they'd probably gravitate towards, though Cymbospondylus is a plausible companion, being smaller and potentially moving more snake/eel-like.
There's not really an issue with telling it apart from the Mosasaurus, the size difference is huge for one, though I could see Cymbospondylus being too similar to smaller Mosasaurs depending on what they want to do.

I don't know about being land animals, floating islands seems the more likely approach (considering land animal swimming doesn't seem like a thing, and the majority of their time is spent in water), in any case it's almost definitely a post-release problem, should they choose to tackle it.
It's a cool primitive ichthyosaur but I think we need a super-sized version the Primitive ichthyosaurs. I think shonisaurus would be a better choice because this ichthyosaur is pretty much the size of a whale but at the same time very primitive.
SHONISAURUS 40-65.ft in length estimates of size.
