Caypullisaurus was a large, dolphin-like marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of what is now Argentina. It had a long, slender snout and huge eyes to hunt fish and squid in the dark ocean.1

Fatgs divertents

1

Caypullisaurus had four main fingers in its front flipper, made of tightly packed, many-sided bones, plus extra fingers on the front and back edges.1

2

Its eyes were very large, like those of Ophthalmosaurus, helping it see in dim water.1

3

Adult Caypullisaurus had weak or missing teeth, so it probably sucked in soft prey like squid.1

4

The only known skeleton is the most complete ichthyosaur ever found from the Jurassic of South America.1

5

Caypullisaurus lived about 145 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.4

6

Its fossils were found in the Vaca Muerta formation, a famous rock layer in Argentina that also holds many other marine reptiles.4

Caypullisaurus was named by paleontologist M. S. Fernández in 1997, based on a nearly complete skeleton from the Neuquén Basin in Argentina.41
Anc discutà
Scientists are not sure exactly how big Caypullisaurus grew, because only one skeleton has been found.4
