Chubutinectes was a long-necked marine reptile that swam in warm, shallow seas near what is now Argentina. It was not a dinosaur, but a plesiosaur, a type of ocean predator with flippers like a sea turtle.2 1

Ebyewuunyisa

Chubutinectes lived about 67 million years ago, near the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs.1

It is one of the few plesiosaurs from the Southern Hemisphere whose skeleton after the head is well known.1

Its bones were found in the La Colonia Formation, which was once a warm, shallow sea with limited water flow.1

Scientists used tiny fossils called microfossils to figure out how old the rocks were where Chubutinectes was found.1

Chubutinectes had a special bone in its shoulder called a coracoid with a heart-shaped hole, which helped scientists tell it apart from other plesiosaurs.1

Its arm bone, the humerus, had a back part that ended in an extra bump, a unique feature.1

Ekifaananyi kya Chubutinectes ekyakolebwa AI, nga kiraga engeri gye yayinza okuba ng'afaanana, ekyakolebwa kompyuta okusinziira ku ebyo bannassaayansi bye bamanyi. Kuteebereza: ekisolo ekyennyini kiyinza okuba nga kyali kifaanana bulala, era tewali amanyi langi zaakyo ez'amazima.

Kikyakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo: Scientists are still debating exactly how Chubutinectes is related to other plesiosaurs, especially the Weddellonectia group.1

Buli kituufu ku lupapula luno kirina ennamba eraga ensibuko yaakyo. Bwe tuba nga tukoze ensobi, tusonyiwe, ffe tuli bawagizi ba dayinoso, so si magazini ya ssaayansi. Tubuulire ku [email protected] tujja kugitereeza.

Rex alumwa enjala! Dino Wiki pulojekiti ya taata eri mutabani we ayagala ennyo dayinoso, ya bwereere, tewali bulango era tewali bikulondoola. Abakulu basobola okuwa Rex akantu ak'okulya okuyamba okugikuuma ku mutimbagano.Liisa Rex
