Fakte argëtuese
Dolichorhynchops was a plesiosaur, but unlike the long-necked plesiosaurs, it had a short neck and a big head.1
The first fossil of Dolichorhynchops was found by a teenager, George Fryer Sternberg, in Kansas around 1900.1
Its name means 'long-nosed face' because of its long, narrow snout.1
Dolichorhynchops lived in the Western Interior Seaway, a shallow sea that split North America in two during the Cretaceous.1

?Was Dolichorhynchops a dinosaur?
No, it was a marine reptile called a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur. It lived in the seas during the Late Cretaceous.14
?When did Dolichorhynchops live?
It lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 87 to 72 million years ago. Fossils are found in North America.1
?Could Dolichorhynchops swim fast?
Yes, it was a quick and agile swimmer. It used its long, paddle-like flippers to 'fly' through the water like a penguin.4
