The original fossil was destroyed in 1940 during World War II when a bomb hit the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.1 2

A plaster cast of the skeleton was made before the war, and it is now the main specimen at the Natural History Museum in London.1 2

Attenborosaurus lived about 190 million years ago during the Early Jurassic period.2

It was first thought to be a species of Plesiosaurus, but in 1993 paleontologist Robert Bakker gave it its own genus.1 2

Skin impressions found with the bones suggest it had smooth, membranous skin without large scales, which helped it swim faster.1

The species name conybeari honors geologist William Conybeare.1
