Contectopalatus
Contectopalatus was a marine reptile that lived in the ocean during the Triassic Period. It had a very tall crest on its head made of bone, which helped it bite hard. It was one of the biggest ichthyosaurs of its time.2

Makambo ya kosepelisa
Contectopalatus had a very high crest on its skull made from the nasal, frontal and parietal bones. This crest grew taller as the animal got older.2
Its jaw muscles were arranged in a unique way. They stretched all the way up to the nostril opening on top of the skull.2
This special muscle arrangement gave Contectopalatus a very strong bite. It was one of the top predators in the Triassic seas.2
Contectopalatus was about 5 metres long. That makes it the largest known mixosaurid ichthyosaur.2
Mixosaurids like Contectopalatus were once thought to be small and simple. But they were actually highly specialized and diverse.2

- The first fossils were described by Quenstedt in 1851 to 52 as Ichthyosaurus atavus. In 1998, Maisch and Matzke renamed it Contectopalatus after studying its skull.1

- Scientists are still debating exactly how the tall crest and jaw muscles worked together to give Contectopalatus such a powerful bite.2
