Kwangsisaurus was named by Chinese paleontologist Yang Zhongjian (also known as C. C. Young) in 1959.1
The only known fossil of Kwangsisaurus is a partial skeleton found in Wuming County, Guangxi, China.2
Kwangsisaurus lived during the Olenekian to Anisian stages of the Triassic, about 250 to 244 million years ago.12
This reptile was a pistosaurid, a group of early sauropterygians that were ancestors of the later plesiosaurs.1
Kwangsisaurus had dorsal vertebrae with long, expanded transverse processes, which helped support its body.1
Its coracoid bone was broad and plate-like, with a rounded inner edge and a bell-shaped outer edge.1
The humerus (upper arm bone) of Kwangsisaurus was curved, and it lacked an entepicondylar foramen, a hole found in some other reptiles.1
