Thaisaurus is one of the oldest known ichthyopterygians, a group of marine reptiles that later evolved into fish-shaped ichthyosaurs.1

Its teeth were all the same shape and pointed, unlike some other early ichthyopterygians that had blunt teeth for crushing shells.1

The only fossil of Thaisaurus was found in hard dolomite rock and has not been fully prepared, so scientists still don't know all its secrets.1

Some scientists think Thaisaurus might actually be a young Chaohusaurus, but others believe it is a distinct genus.1

Thaisaurus had a long, thin snout and large, rounded eye sockets, which helped it see and catch prey in the water.1
