One species, Taniwhasaurus antarcticus, was originally named Lakumasaurus after a sea spirit from the mythology of the Yahgan people of South America.1

4

A nearly complete skull of Taniwhasaurus antarcticus was discovered on James Ross Island in Antarctica in 2000, measuring 72 centimeters (28 inches) long.1

5

Taniwhasaurus lived between about 86 and 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

6

The species Taniwhasaurus oweni was named in honor of the famous paleontologist Richard Owen, who first described marine reptiles from New Zealand.1

7

Taniwhasaurus fossils have been found in marine rocks that were once part of ancient seabeds, alongside ammonites, sharks, and other mosasaurs.1

Scientists are not sure if the species Taniwhasaurus mikasaensis from Japan is really a separate species, because its fossils are very incomplete.1
