Yezosaurus was first thought to be a dinosaur, but later scientists realized it was actually a mosasaur, a type of marine reptile.1

The name Yezosaurus comes from Yezo, the name of a group of rocks in Japan where the fossil was found.1

The fossil of Yezosaurus was discovered in a floating concretion, a hard lump of rock, on a riverbank in Hokkaido, Japan, in 1976.1

Yezosaurus was originally called a tyrannosaur, but it is now considered a species of Taniwhasaurus, a mosasaur.1

The Japanese government declared the Yezosaurus fossil a national treasure in 1976, even before it was officially named.1
