Simolestes was a pliosaur, a kind of short-necked plesiosaur that lived in the Jurassic seas. It had a short, high, and wide skull built to handle twisting forces when hunting. It probably ate squid-like animals and ammonites.1

1

Simolestes had salt-secreting glands, which helped it drink seawater and keep its salt balance.1

2

The type specimen of Simolestes vorax is an almost complete but crushed skeleton found in the Oxford Clay of England.1

3

Simolestes lived from the Middle to Late Jurassic, about 171 to 145 million years ago.1

4

Scientists think Simolestes might have hunted in deeper waters or at night, because its prey (cephalopods) move up at night to feed.1

5

The species Simolestes keileni from France was moved to a new genus called Lorrainosaurus in 2023.1
