Mollesaurus was a large, fast-swimming marine reptile that lived in the Jurassic seas. It looked a bit like a dolphin but was actually an ichthyosaur, not a dinosaur. With its big eyes and sharp teeth, it was a top hunter in the ocean.1 3

Mollesaurus is one of the oldest known ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaurs, living about 171 to 170 million years ago.1

Its name comes from the Los Molles Formation in Argentina, where its fossils were found.1

The only known fossil of Mollesaurus is a partial skeleton including part of the skull and most of the backbone.1

Mollesaurus was a thunnosaur, meaning it had a tuna-like body built for fast swimming.1

Some scientists once thought Mollesaurus was a species of Ophthalmosaurus, but newer studies show it is its own genus.1

Mollesaurus and another ichthyosaur called Chacaicosaurus were found at the same spot in Argentina.1
