Odoiporosaurus

Naam beteken: “traveler lizard”1

Het geëet: VisSeereptieleMiddel-TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Odoiporosaurus was a small marine reptile that swam in warm, shallow seas during the Middle Triassic, about 239 million years ago. It looked a bit like a modern sea turtle but with a long tail and four flipper-like legs. It lived in what is now northern Italy.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

Odoiporosaurus is one of the oldest known pachypleurosaurs from the Besano Formation, older than its relative Serpianosaurus.3

Its name means 'traveler lizard' because scientists think its ancestors migrated from the eastern Paleotethys Ocean into the Germanic Basin.1 3

Odoiporosaurus is the sister group to the clade that includes Serpianosaurus and Neusticosaurus.1 3

The only known fossil of Odoiporosaurus was found in the Besano Formation, which is famous for preserving many marine reptiles from the Middle Triassic.1 3

Odoiporosaurus lived during the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic, about 239 million years ago.1 2

This reptile was a pachypleurosaur, a group of small, long-necked marine reptiles that were not dinosaurs.1

KI-prent van Odoiporosaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Odoiporosaurus 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.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Odoiporosaurus
Benoem deur: Renesto et al. 20144
Groep: Seereptiele
Familie / klade: Pachypleurosauria4
Klassifikasie: Sauropterygia4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 239 tot 237 miljoen jaar (Ladinian)4
Rotsformasies: Meride4

Ontdekking: Odoiporosaurus was named and described by Silvio Claudio Renesto, Giorgio Pietro Mario Binelli, and H. Hagdorn in 2014. The fossil was collected from the Besano Formation in northern Italy.1 3
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure about the exact diet of Odoiporosaurus, but based on its teeth and relatives, it likely ate fish.1
