Brachypterygius
Brachypterygius was a fast-swimming marine reptile that lived in the Late Jurassic seas. It looked a bit like a dolphin but was a reptile, not a fish or a dinosaur. Its short, wide front flippers helped it steer through the water.1

- Scientists still debate whether the species Grendelius mordax is the same as Brachypterygius extremus or a separate animal.1
