Acostasaurus was a fierce marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of Colombia about 125 million years ago. It had a big head, sharp teeth, and flippers to paddle through the water. Even though it was not a dinosaur, it was a top predator in its ocean home.1

Dintlha tse monate

1

Acostasaurus had very large eye sockets and big scleral rings, which helped it see in deep or murky water.1

2

Its skull was short and wide in the front, unlike many other pliosaurs that had long snouts.1

3

The only known fossil is a nearly complete skull and parts of the body, including a whole hind flipper and many vertebrae.1

4

Acostasaurus lived during the Early Cretaceous, a time when few plesiosaur fossils are known, called the 'Lower Cretaceous Gap'.3

5

It had a short lower jaw joint area with only five and a half pairs of tooth sockets, which is unusual for a pliosaur.1

6

The specimen was a subadult, because some bones in its skull were not fully grown together.1

Acostasaurus was named by Marcela Gómez Pérez and Leslie F. Noè in 2011, based on a fossil found in the Paja Formation of Colombia. The species name is Acostasaurus pavachoquensis.12
E sa ntse e phehwa kgang
Scientists are not sure whether Acostasaurus belongs to the brachauchenine group of pliosaurs, because its teeth are different from theirs.1
