Stenopterygius
Stenopterygius was a 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. It had a long beak full of teeth and chased after fish and squid.1

Makambo ya kosepelisa
Stenopterygius had a small skull and narrow flippers compared to its relative Ichthyosaurus.1
One well-preserved fossil shows traces of skin, revealing that Stenopterygius was countershaded: darker on the back and lighter on the belly.1
Fossils of Stenopterygius often contain the remains of its last meal in the stomach area.1
The tail ended in a large, semicircular, leathery vertical fin, and it also had a triangular dorsal fin on its back.1
Stenopterygius lived during the Early and Middle Jurassic, about 183 to 173 million years ago.1
The type specimen of Stenopterygius quadriscissus is a complete skeleton that even preserved a very large embryo inside.1
