Lusonectes is the only plesiosaur from Portugal that scientists can identify as a distinct species.1
Its name comes from Latin and Greek words meaning 'Portuguese swimmer'.1
The only fossil found is a partial skull, which is about 127 millimeters (5 inches) long.1
Lusonectes lived about 184 to 175 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic period.3
It was first described in 1897 by French paleontologist Henri Émile Sauvage, who thought it was a Plesiosaurus.2
Lusonectes is one of the few plesiosaurs from the Early Jurassic found outside the United Kingdom and Germany.2

- The fossil was first described in 1897 by French paleontologist Henri Émile Sauvage, who called it Plesiosaurus sp. In 2012, scientists Smith, Araújo, and Mateus gave it the new name Lusonectes sauvagei.2

- Scientists are not sure whether Lusonectes was an early pliosaurid or a plesiosauroid, because the only fossil is a poorly preserved partial skull.2
