The name Cimoliasaurus means 'white chalk lizard' because its fossils were found in rocks that look like the white chalk of England.1

Cimoliasaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 70 to 66 million years ago.1

The first fossils of Cimoliasaurus were vertebrae (back bones) found in New Jersey in 1851.1

Cimoliasaurus belongs to the family Elasmosauridae, which includes some of the longest-necked plesiosaurs.1

A possible Cimoliasaurus vertebra was found by a schoolboy named Colin McEwen during a field trip in Maryland in 1988.1

Some scientists once thought Cimoliasaurus was a different kind of reptile, but now they agree it is an elasmosaurid plesiosaur.1
