Hainosaurus

Naam beteken: “lizard from the Haine River”1

Het geëet: VleisMosasourusseLaat KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Hainosaurus was a huge marine lizard that ruled the Late Cretaceous seas. It was one of the biggest mosasaurs, growing up to 12 metres (40 feet) long. This powerful predator ate turtles, plesiosaurs, sharks, and even other mosasaurs.1

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

Hainosaurus had more vertebrae in its neck and trunk (53) than its close relative Tylosaurus (35).1

Its tail was shorter than Tylosaurus's because it had fewer vertebrae with chevron bones.1

The first Hainosaurus fossil was discovered by a worker in a phosphate quarry in Belgium in 1885. The worker sold the eight vertebrae he found to a museum.1

Some scientists think Hainosaurus might actually be a species of Tylosaurus, but others keep it as a separate genus because of differences in its teeth.1

Hainosaurus lived during the Campanian and Maastrichtian ages, about 84 to 66 million years ago.4

Isolated teeth of Hainosaurus have been found in southern Sweden, showing it lived in the ancient seas that covered that area.2

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Hainosaurus

?How big was Hainosaurus?

Hainosaurus was one of the largest mosasaurs, reaching up to about 12.2 metres (40 feet) long, though earlier estimates were larger.1 3

?What did Hainosaurus eat?

It ate turtles, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, cephalopods, sharks, fish, and smaller mosasaurs. A Belgian specimen had swallowed part of a giant turtle.1 3

?Was Hainosaurus a dinosaur?

No, Hainosaurus was a marine lizard belonging to the mosasaur family, not a dinosaur.1

?Where was Hainosaurus found?

The first fossil was found in a phosphate quarry in Belgium in 1885. Fossils have also been found in Canada, Sweden, France, England, and Poland.1 3

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Hainosaurus
Benoem deur: Dollo 18854
Groep: Mosasourusse
Familie / klade: Mosasauridae4
Klassifikasie: Mosasauroidea4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 84 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Campanian / Maastrichtian)4
Rotsformasies: Opoka, Kopinge Sandstone, Pierre Shale4
Lande: Swede, Duitsland, Pole, Frankryk, Rusland, VSA4
Fossielrekords: 16 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Louis Dollo named Hainosaurus in 1885 based on a near-complete skeleton found in a phosphate quarry near the Haine River in Belgium. The skeleton was excavated with the help of an industrialist named Leopold Bernard, after whom the species H. bernardi was named.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate whether Hainosaurus is a distinct genus or should be considered a species of Tylosaurus.1
