Eromangasaurus

Naam beteken: “Eromanga lizard”1

Het geëet: VleisPlesiosourusseVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Eromangasaurus was a long-necked marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of ancient Australia. It was not a dinosaur, but a plesiosaur, and it used its sharp teeth to crunch up clams and snails.1 2

Prettige feit: hierdie seereptiel het geswem terwyl dinosourusse op land geloop het. Almal noem hulle dino's, maar hulle was 'n ander tak van die reptiele.

Prettige feite

Eromangasaurus lived about 103 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1

Its name comes from the Eromanga Basin in Australia, where its fossils were found.1

The only known skull of Eromangasaurus is nearly complete but badly crushed.1

Eromangasaurus had seven teeth in its upper jaw, with one tooth right in the middle.3

Scientists once thought Eromangasaurus was a species of Tuarangisaurus, a plesiosaur from New Zealand.1

Eromangasaurus was about 7 metres long and weighed between 1 and 2 tonnes, as big as a small car.1

KI-prent van Eromangasaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Eromangasaurus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Mite-breker

Mite: Eromangasaurus was a dinosaur.

Waarheid: Eromangasaurus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea, not a dinosaur.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Eromangasaurus
Benoem deur: Kear 20055
Groep: Plesiosourusse
Familie / klade: Elasmosauridae5
Klassifikasie: Plesiosauria > Elasmosauridae > Sauropterygia5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 106 tot 100 miljoen jaar (Albian)5
Rotsformasies: Toolebuc5
Lande: Australië5
Fossielrekords: 2 in The Paleobiology Database5
Ontdekking: Eromangasaurus was named by Benjamin P. Kear in 2005 based on a skull found in the Toolebuc Formation of Queensland, Australia. The same fossil was also named Tuarangisaurus australis by Sven Sachs earlier that year, but Eromangasaurus is now the accepted name.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Eromangasaurus is related to other elasmosaurids, such as Terminonatator from Canada.3
