Mfundo zosangalatsa
Nannopterygius had very small flippers, only 25 to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches) long for the front ones and 10 to 15 centimeters (4 to 6 inches) for the back ones.1
Its name means 'small wing' in Greek, because its flippers were so tiny compared to other ichthyosaurs.1
It had a long tail that made up about 1 meter (3.3 feet) of its total length, with a deeply forked fin.1
Nannopterygius had at least 60 disc-shaped vertebrae, making its body flexible and agile.1
Its eyes were large and had a bony ring inside the socket, which helped it see in dark water.1
Because its flippers were so small, Nannopterygius was not good at long-distance swimming but could sprint quickly over short distances.1
The first fossil of Nannopterygius was found in Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, England, and was named Ichthyosaurus enthekiodon in 1871.1

- The first Nannopterygius fossil was found in Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, England, and described by J. W. Hulke in 1871 as Ichthyosaurus enthekiodon. In 1922, Friedrich von Huene gave it its own genus name Nannopterygius because of its small flippers.1
