Serpianosaurus

Naam beteken: “Serpiano lizard”1

Het geëet: VisSeereptieleMiddel-TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Serpianosaurus was a small, long-tailed marine reptile that swam in warm, shallow seas during the Middle Triassic, about 242 million years ago. It had a big skull and a straight jaw, and it probably ate small sea creatures like shrimp and plankton.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

Serpianosaurus is one of the oldest sauropterygians from Monte San Giorgio in Switzerland, with only the rare pachypleurosaur Odoiporosaurus being older.1

Males and females looked different: they had differently shaped and sized upper arm bones (humeri). This is called sexual dimorphism.1

Unlike many other pachypleurosaurs, Serpianosaurus did not have thickened ribs (pachyostosis). Its ribs were slender.1

The type species, Serpianosaurus mirigiolensis, was named in 1989 by paleontologist Olivier Rieppel.1 2

A second species, Serpianosaurus germanicus, was named in 2013 from the Karlstadt Formation in Germany, and it is the oldest known record of this genus.1

Serpianosaurus is considered closely related to the genus Neusticosaurus, another small pachypleurosaur.1

KI-prent van Serpianosaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Serpianosaurus 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

Klassifikasie: Sauropterygia2
Ouderdom van die rotse: 247 tot 237 miljoen jaar ()2
Rotsformasies: Besano, Karlstadt2
Lande: Switserland, Duitsland2

Ontdekking: Serpianosaurus was named by Olivier Rieppel in 1989 based on fossils from the Grenzbitumenzone of Monte San Giorgio, Switzerland. The type species is Serpianosaurus mirigiolensis.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Serpianosaurus filtered its food, since its teeth and feeding method are not fully understood.2
