Panzhousaurus

Naam beteken: “Panzhou lizard”1

Het geëet: VisSeereptieleMiddel-TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Panzhousaurus was a small, long-necked marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of China during the Middle Triassic, about 244 million years ago. It had a short, rounded snout and a body less than 50 centimetres long, making it one of the smaller sea reptiles of its time.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

Panzhousaurus had a very long neck with 24 vertebrae, which helped it twist and turn to catch prey.1

Its snout was short and rounded, which is unusual for many marine reptiles and gave it a blunt-looking face.1

Scientists have found a juvenile Panzhousaurus that was only 17 centimetres long, showing that babies had bigger eyes compared to their body size.2

Panzhousaurus lived alongside other marine reptiles and fish in the Panxian Fauna, a rich fossil site in China.2

The name Panzhousaurus comes from Panzhou, the city in China where its fossils were first discovered.1

Its hands and feet had a special finger bone formula: 3 to 4-5 to 4-3 in the front and 2 to 3-4 to 5-3 in the back, which helped scientists identify it.2

KI-prent van Panzhousaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Panzhousaurus 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: Panzhousaurus
Benoem deur: Jiang et al. 20183
Groep: Seereptiele
Familie / klade: Pachypleurosauridae3
Klassifikasie: Sauropterygia3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 244 tot 243 miljoen jaar ()3
Rotsformasies: Guanling3
Lande: China3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Panzhousaurus was first described in 2018 by a team of scientists led by D.-Y. Jiang, based on a nearly complete skeleton found in the Guanling Formation of Guizhou, China.3 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate whether Panzhousaurus is more closely related to keichousaurids or to other early eosauropterygians, and its exact place in the family tree is not yet settled.2
