Carentonosaurus was a marine lizard that swam in warm, shallow seas during the time of the dinosaurs. It had a strange, heavy backbone that made it extra dense, like a living anchor in the water.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Carentonosaurus had very thick, heavy bones in its back, a condition called pachyostosis, which helped it stay underwater without floating up.1

Its neck bones were not thickened, only the back bones were pachyostotic, which is unusual among marine lizards.1

This lizard lived about 100 to 94 million years ago, during the Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous Period.3

Carentonosaurus fossils have been found in France, Portugal, and Spain, showing it lived in the warm Tethys Sea.2

It is part of a group called aigialosaurs, which are close relatives of the giant mosasaurs.3

The first fossils were discovered in western France, in rocks that were once a shallow, warm sea near a coast.1

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

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Carentonosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Rage and Néraudeau 20043
Iqela: Iimosasauri
Usapho / iclade: Aigialosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Mosasauroidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 100 ukuya ku-94 izigidi zeminyaka (Cenomanian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: La Cabaña, B3/C1, Tentúgal3
Amazwe: iFransi, iSpeyin, iPortugal3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 8 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ikwaziwa ngokuba: Carentonosaurus (amagama amadala ngoku abalwa njengesilwanyana esinye)3
Ukufunyanwa: Carentonosaurus was named by paleontologists Jean-Claude Rage and Didier Néraudeau in 2004, based on fossils found in the Charente region of France.3 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure if Carentonosaurus lived only in the early part of the Late Cretaceous or if it also appeared in the early Cenomanian.1
