Nannopterygius had very small flippers, only 25 to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches) long for the front ones and 10 to 15 centimeters (4 to 6 inches) for the back ones.1

Its name means 'small wing' in Greek, because its flippers were so tiny compared to other ichthyosaurs.1

It had a long tail that made up about 1 meter (3.3 feet) of its total length, with a deeply forked fin.1

Nannopterygius had at least 60 disc-shaped vertebrae, making its body flexible and agile.1

Its eyes were large and had a bony ring inside the socket, which helped it see in dark water.1

Because its flippers were so small, Nannopterygius was not good at long-distance swimming but could sprint quickly over short distances.1

The first fossil of Nannopterygius was found in Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, England, and was named Ichthyosaurus enthekiodon in 1871.1
