Neusticosaurus

Naam beteken: “swimming lizard”1

Het geëet: VisSeereptieleMiddel-TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Neusticosaurus was a tiny marine reptile that swam in warm, shallow seas during the Triassic Period. It was one of the smallest members of the nothosaur group, and it probably hunted small fish for food.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

Neusticosaurus is sometimes misspelled as Neuticosaurus.1

Scientists can tell the age of a Neusticosaurus by counting growth rings in its bones, just like tree rings.2

Small species of Neusticosaurus became adults after only three to four years and lived for six to nine years.2

Neusticosaurus had different numbers of backbone bones depending on the species, which helps scientists tell them apart.2

Males and females of Neusticosaurus looked different: one sex had longer and more developed arm bones than the other.2

Fossils of Neusticosaurus have been found with embryos inside, showing how the babies grew before hatching.2

Groep: Seereptiele
Familie / klade: Pachypleurosauridae4
Klassifikasie: Sauropterygia4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 247 tot 237 miljoen jaar ()4
Rotsformasies: Cassina, Monte San Giorgio bituminous shales, Erfurt4
Lande: Switserland, Italië, Frankryk, Duitsland, Oostenryk, Slowakye4

Ontdekking: The name Neusticosaurus was given by Harry Seeley in 1882. The first species, Neusticosaurus pusillus, was originally named Simosaurus pusillus by Eberhard Fraas in 1881.1 4
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure which sex of Neusticosaurus had the longer arm bones, because the fossils don't show clear male or female features.2
