Simolestes
Simolestes was a pliosaur, a kind of short-necked plesiosaur that lived in the Jurassic seas. It had a short, high, and wide skull built to handle twisting forces when hunting. It probably ate squid-like animals and ammonites.1

Prettige feite
Simolestes had salt-secreting glands, which helped it drink seawater and keep its salt balance.1
The type specimen of Simolestes vorax is an almost complete but crushed skeleton found in the Oxford Clay of England.1
Simolestes lived from the Middle to Late Jurassic, about 171 to 145 million years ago.1
Scientists think Simolestes might have hunted in deeper waters or at night, because its prey (cephalopods) move up at night to feed.1
The species Simolestes keileni from France was moved to a new genus called Lorrainosaurus in 2023.1
