1

Colymbosaurus lived from about 168 to 113 million years ago, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.5

2

It belonged to a group called Cryptoclididae, which were plesiosaurs with long necks and small heads.1

3

There were at least two valid species: Colymbosaurus megadeirus and Colymbosaurus svalbardensis.1

4

Colymbosaurus trochanterius is not considered a valid species, but some fossils are still referred to Colymbosaurus.1

5

Fossils have been found in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the UK, which was a shallow sea at the time.1

6

Colymbosaurus was actively mobile and lived in the water, likely swimming near the surface.5
