Toretocnemus means 'perforated tibia' because its shin bone had a hole in it.1

It was first described in 1903 by paleontologist John Campbell Merriam from fossils found in California.1 3

Two species are known: T. californicus and T. zitteli, named after the German paleontologist Karl Alfred von Zittel.1

Toretocnemus was a small ichthyosaur, probably no longer than 2 meters (6.6 feet), and some were only about 1 meter (3.3 feet) long.1

Its fossils have been found in the Hosselkus Limestone in California and the Antimonio Formation in Mexico.1 3

The first fossils were collected by Annie Montague Alexander along the Pit River in Shasta County, California.1

Toretocnemus had three fingers on each flipper, which is unusual for ichthyosaurs.2
