Hauffiosaurus was a medium-sized plesiosaur that swam in the warm, shallow seas of the Early Jurassic. It had a very long, thin snout and slender teeth, perfect for catching slippery fish. Its fossils have been found in Germany and England.1

Hauffiosaurus zanoni is known from a nearly complete skeleton that was discovered in the early 1800s, but it was not properly described until 2001.1

The name Hauffiosaurus honors the Hauff family, who run the Urwelt-Museum Hauff in Holzmaden, Germany, where the type specimen is displayed.1

This plesiosaur had a very long, thin snout, a shape that scientists think is a sign it ate mostly fish.1

Its teeth were slender and had fine ridges running lengthwise, which helped it grip slippery fish.1

Three species are known: H. zanoni, H. tomistomimus, and H. longirostris. The last two were named in 2011.1

The largest species, H. tomistomimus and H. longirostris, grew to about 4.83 metres (15.8 feet) long.1
