Rhaeticosaurus was a small, early plesiosaur that swam in the seas of the Late Triassic. It had four flippers shaped like wings and a long neck, and it used its flippers to fly through the water. This marine reptile is one of the oldest plesiosaurs ever found.2

1

Rhaeticosaurus is the first plesiosaur skeleton ever found from the Triassic period, showing that plesiosaurs were already around before the Jurassic.2

2

Its name means 'Rhaetian lizard' because it lived during the Rhaetian age, the last stage of the Triassic.1

3

Rhaeticosaurus had very short lower arm and leg bones compared to its upper limb bones, with a humerus-to-radius ratio of 3.8 and a femur-to-tibia ratio of 4.3.2

4

The holotype skeleton was discovered in 2013 by Michael Mertens, a private collector who reported it to authorities.1

5

Rhaeticosaurus was a basal member of the Pliosauridae, a group of plesiosaurs with large heads and short necks.2

6

Its teeth had sharp ridges on the enamel, a feature that helped scientists identify it as a plesiosaur.2

?How big was Rhaeticosaurus?

Rhaeticosaurus grew up to about 2.37 metres (7.8 feet) long when fully grown, based on the holotype skeleton.12

?Was Rhaeticosaurus a dinosaur?

No, Rhaeticosaurus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile, not a dinosaur. It lived in the sea and used its four flippers to swim.12

?When did Rhaeticosaurus live?

Rhaeticosaurus lived during the Rhaetian age of the Late Triassic, about 208 to 201 million years ago. It is one of the oldest plesiosaurs ever found.12
