Tuarangisaurus was a long-necked marine reptile that swam in the seas around New Zealand 83 to 66 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a plesiosaur, and it used its four flippers to paddle through the water. With a skull full of sharp teeth, it was a fierce hunter of fish and other sea creatures.51

1

Tuarangisaurus had a skull that was 37 centimetres (about 15 inches) long, with fused premaxillary bones and a low ridge on top.2

2

It had five large teeth in the upper jaw (premaxilla) and about 15 smaller teeth in the maxilla, plus 19 to 20 teeth in the lower jaw.2

3

The name Tuarangisaurus means 'ancient lizard' in the Māori language, reflecting its New Zealand discovery.1

4

Fossils of Tuarangisaurus have been found in marine rocks that were once part of a shallow sea, showing it lived in coastal waters.2

5

Scientists think Tuarangisaurus gave birth to live young, like other plesiosaurs, because it could not crawl onto land to lay eggs.2

6

The first fossils of Tuarangisaurus were found in the Mangahouanga Stream on the North Island of New Zealand, and included both adult and juvenile skull material.1

7

Tuarangisaurus is part of a group called elasmosaurids, which were plesiosaurs with very long necks.5
