Compressidens

Igama lithetha: “compressed teeth”1

Yayitya: InyamaIimosasauriiCretaceous yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Compressidens was a small mosasaur, a marine lizard that lived in the sea during the time of the dinosaurs. It had special flat teeth for crushing hard-shelled animals like clams and sea urchins.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Compressidens is now called Carinodens, because the name Compressidens was already used for a different animal, a type of mollusk.1

It was one of the smallest mosasaurs, only about 2 to 2.6 metres (6.6 to 8.5 feet) long.1

Its teeth were flat and compressed from side to side, which is why it was named Compressidens, meaning 'compressed teeth'.1

Only the back five teeth were used for crushing food; the front teeth were small and pointed for grabbing prey.1

Fossils of Compressidens have been found in Europe, North America, South America, and North Africa.1

Scientists think it may have lived in deep water most of the time, only rarely coming into shallow seas.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Compressidens — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Compressidens 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: Compressidens
Inikwe igama ngu:: Dollo 19242
Iqela: Iimosasauri
Usapho / iclade: Mosasauridae2
Ukuhlelwa: Mosasauroidea2
Ubudala bamatye: 72 ukuya ku-66 izigidi zeminyaka (Maastrichtian)2
Izakhiwo zamatye: Craie de Ciply2
Amazwe: iBhelgiyam2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: The name Compressidens was given by Louis Dollo in 1924, but it was later changed to Carinodens in 1969 because the name was already taken.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure what the upper jaw of Compressidens looked like, because no fossils of the upper jaw have been found.1
