Proneusticosaurus

Naam beteken: “before Neusticosaurus”1

Het geëet: VleisSeereptieleMiddel-TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Proneusticosaurus was a marine reptile that swam in warm, shallow seas during the Triassic Period. It had a long neck and tail, and its bones were very dense to help it stay underwater.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

Proneusticosaurus had very dense, heavy bones, especially in its legs and ribs, which helped it sink and swim underwater.2

Scientists counted seven growth rings in its thigh bone, showing it grew slowly and lived for several years.2

Its vertebrae were shaped like barrels, a condition called pachyostosis, which made its spine extra heavy.2

Proneusticosaurus is one of the oldest known eosauropterygians, a group that includes plesiosaurs.2

Only a few fossils of Proneusticosaurus have been found, and many were lost during World War II.2

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