Grippia is one of the smallest ichthyosaurs, only about 1 to 1.5 metres long.1

The first complete skull of Grippia was found in 1929 but was destroyed during a bombing raid in World War II.1

Grippia swam by moving its tail side to side, just like a modern eel.1

It lived about 250 to 235 million years ago, during the Early to Middle Triassic.1

Grippia is considered the most basal (early) ichthyosaur, meaning it had a more primitive body than later species.1

No complete skeleton of Grippia has ever been found, only partial skulls and bones.1
