Mfundo zosangalatsa
Thililua is the first polycotylid plesiosaur ever found in Africa.1
Its name comes from a Berber water god, because it lived in the sea.1
Thililua had 30 neck vertebrae, and some of them had ridges on the sides that no other polycotylid had.1
The only known fossil includes a nearly complete skull and 37 vertebrae, found in a nodule of rock.1
Thililua lived about 93 to 90 million years ago, during the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous.3
Its teeth were all about the same size, with no big fangs like some other plesiosaurs.1
