Luopingosaurus was a small marine reptile that swam in the seas of China about 244 million years ago. It had a long snout and used suction to catch its food. It was not a dinosaur, but a relative of plesiosaurs.21

Luopingosaurus had a very long snout, making up 55% of its skull length. This was unusual for its family, which usually had short snouts.2
It had extra finger bones, a condition called hyperphalangy. Its fingers had the formula 2 to 3-5 to 5-3, and its toes had 2 to 3-4 to 6-4.2
Luopingosaurus had 21 neck vertebrae and 27 back vertebrae, which is more than other pachypleurosaurids.2
It had rod-like hyoid bones in its throat. These bones helped create suction to pull prey into its mouth.2
Luopingosaurus lived about 244 million years ago, during the Middle Triassic period. This was about 8 million years after the great end-Permian mass extinction.2
