Ebyewuunyisa
Colymbosaurus lived from about 168 to 113 million years ago, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.5
It belonged to a group called Cryptoclididae, which were plesiosaurs with long necks and small heads.1
There were at least two valid species: Colymbosaurus megadeirus and Colymbosaurus svalbardensis.1
Colymbosaurus trochanterius is not considered a valid species, but some fossils are still referred to Colymbosaurus.1
Fossils have been found in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the UK, which was a shallow sea at the time.1
Colymbosaurus was actively mobile and lived in the water, likely swimming near the surface.5

?How big was Colymbosaurus?
Scientists are not sure of its exact size, but it was a medium-sized plesiosaur. It had a long neck and flippers for swimming.3
?Where was Colymbosaurus found?
Fossils have been found in the UK and Svalbard, Norway. They come from rocks that were once a shallow sea.43
