The species is characterized by a moderately long symphysis bearing 8 pairs of teeth, teeth that are nearly circular in cross-section and which are smooth on the outer surface (except near the base), ribs of the neck vertebrae being singled-headed (double-headed in Jurassic pliosaurs), and a long slender interpectoral bar on the coracoid.
Plesiopleurodon was a pliosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period. It was anatomically similar to the larger Liopleurodon - a distantly related species that lived millions of years before it.
