Aphrosaurus was a long-necked marine reptile that swam in the Pacific Ocean near California near the end of the age of dinosaurs. It was a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur, and it glided through the water like a slow, graceful sea monster.1

Aphrosaurus lived about 70 to 66 million years ago, during the very end of the Cretaceous Period.1 2

Its name comes from Greek words meaning 'sea foam lizard'.1

The only known fossil was found in 1939 by a rancher named Frank C. Piava.1

Aphrosaurus had a deep groove on the underside of its neck bones that helped scientists tell it apart from other plesiosaurs.1

Scientists think Aphrosaurus was a slow swimmer that glided long distances, like a flying bird but underwater.1

It shared its ocean home with other plesiosaurs like Morenosaurus, Fresnosaurus, and Hydrotherosaurus, as well as many mosasaurs and sea turtles.1
