Ebyewuunyisa

Muiscasaurus had a very narrow skull and long, thin jaws, like a modern dolphin's snout.1

Its teeth were small and smooth, not ridged like those of its relative Kyhytysuka.1

The only known skeleton belongs to a young animal, because its backbone bones were not fully hardened.1

It lived about 125 to 113 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous.2

Muiscasaurus is a type of ichthyosaur called an ophthalmosaurid, related to Ophthalmosaurus.1 3

A well-preserved skull and near-complete spine (68 vertebrae) was found in 2006, giving scientists a much clearer picture of Muiscasaurus.3

Ekifaananyi kya Muiscasaurus 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.

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Muiscasaurus was a dinosaur.

Amazima: It was an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that swam in the ocean, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land.2
