One species, Taniwhasaurus antarcticus, was originally named Lakumasaurus after a sea spirit from the mythology of the Yahgan people of South America.1

A nearly complete skull of Taniwhasaurus antarcticus was discovered on James Ross Island in Antarctica in 2000, measuring 72 centimeters (28 inches) long.1

5

Taniwhasaurus lived between about 86 and 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

6

The species Taniwhasaurus oweni was named in honor of the famous paleontologist Richard Owen, who first described marine reptiles from New Zealand.1
