Eidolosaurus
Eidolosaurus was a marine lizard that swam in the seas during the time of the dinosaurs. It had a long, oar-like tail and lived about 100 to 90 million years ago. Scientists know it from a fossil that is mostly an impression, like a shadow in the rock.21

Dintlha tse di monate
Eidolosaurus had a long, broad, oar-like tail, which helped it swim in the sea.1
The fossil is mostly an impression, not solid bones, so scientists call it a 'shadowlike imprint'.1
It had 34 vertebrae in its back, 2 in its hips, and at least 48 in its tail.1
Eidolosaurus is related to other marine lizards like mosasaurs and dolichosaurs, but it is not a dinosaur.21
The fossil was found during the demolition of a house, and it was given to scientists by Dr. Trauth.1
