Carsosaurus
Carsosaurus was an ancient marine lizard that lived in the warm seas of what is now Slovenia. It had a long tail and could swim, but it also spent time on land. This reptile was an early relative of the huge mosasaurs that ruled the oceans later.1

Zvinonakidza
Carsosaurus is known from only one fossil, which is missing its skull and most of its tail.1
The fossil includes skin impressions that show rhombus-shaped scales with thickened edges.1
Scientists think Carsosaurus gave birth to live young, not eggs, because the fossil may contain embryos inside the mother.1
The preserved part of the skeleton is about 97.5 centimetres (3 feet 2 inches) long, but the whole animal may have been 1.3 to 1.4 metres (4.3 to 4.6 feet) long.1
Its long tail may have been used as a rudder for swimming, for defense, or for grasping.1
Carsosaurus is part of the mosasaur superfamily, but it was more land-dwelling than its fully aquatic later relatives.1

- Scientists are not sure if Carsosaurus is really a separate genus or if it should be called Aigialosaurus, because the skull is missing.1
