Bobosaurus
Bobosaurus was a big marine reptile that lived in the sea during the Late Triassic, about 228 to 223 million years ago. It was a relative of plesiosaurs and had a long neck and strong flippers for swimming.1

Dintlha tse monate
Bobosaurus was named in 2006 by paleontologist Fabio M. Dalla Vecchia.1
The only known fossil is a partial skeleton that includes parts of the skull, neck, body, tail, and limbs.3
Bobosaurus had very high spines on its back vertebrae, similar to another marine reptile called Nothosaurus.3
Its ribs had a special hook-shaped process called an uncinate process, which is also seen in the placodont Paraplacodus.3
Bobosaurus lived during the Carnian age of the Late Triassic, about 237 to 233.6 million years ago.2
Scientists think Bobosaurus was a surface swimmer with a stiff body and large front flippers.3

?How big was Bobosaurus?
It was a relatively large animal, more than 3 metres long.1
?What did Bobosaurus eat?
Scientists think it was an active predator that hunted mobile prey, like fish or other sea creatures, in shallow seas.4
?Was Bobosaurus a dinosaur?
No, it was a marine reptile called a sauropterygian, related to plesiosaurs, not a dinosaur.1
?When did Bobosaurus live?
It lived during the Late Triassic, about 228 to 223 million years ago, in the Carnian age.1
