Brancasaurus

Igama lithetha: “Branca's lizard”1

Yayitya: InyamaIiplesiosauriiCretaceous yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Brancasaurus was a plesiosaur, a long-necked marine reptile that lived in a freshwater lake. It had a small head and a long tail, and swam with four flippers like paddles.1

Inyani emnandi: esi sirhubuluzi saselwandle sasiqubha ngelixa iidayinaso zazihamba emhlabeni. Wonke umntu uzibiza ngokuba ziidayinaso, kodwa zazilisebe elahlukileyo lezirhubuluzi.

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Brancasaurus lived in a huge freshwater lake, not the ocean. The lake was sometimes connected to the sea.1

Its neck bones had tall, shark-fin-shaped spines on top, which is unusual for plesiosaurs.1

The first fossil was found by workers digging clay with pickaxes in 1910. They accidentally broke the hip bone into 176 pieces.1

Brancasaurus was about 3.26 metres (10.7 feet) long as a subadult. Adults may have been a bit bigger.1

Another plesiosaur named Gronausaurus wegneri is now thought to be the same as Brancasaurus, just a different growth stage.1 2

Brancasaurus shared its lake with sharks, crocodiles, turtles, and many kinds of fish.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Brancasaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Brancasaurus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Brancasaurus

?Was Brancasaurus a dinosaur?

No, Brancasaurus was a plesiosaur, a type of marine reptile that lived in the time of the dinosaurs, but it was not a dinosaur itself.1 3

?How big was Brancasaurus?

The most complete fossil, a subadult, was about 3.26 metres (10.7 feet) long. Adults may have been a bit bigger.1 4 3

?What did Brancasaurus eat?

Brancasaurus likely hunted fish near the surface of the water, such as Caturus, Lepidotes, and Callopterus.1 3

?Where did Brancasaurus live?

Brancasaurus lived in a large freshwater lake in what is now Germany, during the Early Cretaceous period. The lake was sometimes connected to the sea.1 4 3

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Brancasaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Wegner 19145
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Leptocleididae5
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia5
Ubudala bamatye: 139 ukuya ku-137 izigidi zeminyaka (Berriasian)5
Izakhiwo zamatye: Bückeberg5
Amazwe: iJamani5
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database5
Ukufunyanwa: Brancasaurus was named by Theodor Wegner in 1914. He named it after the paleontologist Wilhelm von Branca. The first skeleton was found in a clay pit near Gronau, Germany in 1910.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Brancasaurus belongs to the elasmosaurid family or the leptocleidid family. Different studies give different answers.1 2
