Contectopalatus was a marine reptile that lived in the ocean during the Triassic Period. It had a very tall crest on its head made of bone, which helped it bite hard. It was one of the biggest ichthyosaurs of its time.2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Contectopalatus had a very high crest on its skull made from the nasal, frontal and parietal bones. This crest grew taller as the animal got older.2

Its jaw muscles were arranged in a unique way. They stretched all the way up to the nostril opening on top of the skull.2

This special muscle arrangement gave Contectopalatus a very strong bite. It was one of the top predators in the Triassic seas.2

Contectopalatus was about 5 metres long. That makes it the largest known mixosaurid ichthyosaur.2

Mixosaurids like Contectopalatus were once thought to be small and simple. But they were actually highly specialized and diverse.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Contectopalatus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Contectopalatus 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: Contectopalatus

?How big was Contectopalatus?

It was about 5 metres (16 feet) long, making it the largest known mixosaurid ichthyosaur.2 3

?What did Contectopalatus eat?

It was a top predator that ate fish and other marine animals. Its strong bite and special teeth helped it catch and eat its prey.2

?Is Contectopalatus a dinosaur?

No, it was an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the ocean. It is not a dinosaur.2

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Contectopalatus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Maisch and Matzke 19984
Iqela: Ii-ichthyosauri
Usapho / iclade: Mixosauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Ichthyosauria > Ichthyosauromorpha4
Ubudala bamatye: 247 ukuya ku-237 izigidi zeminyaka ()4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Monte San Giorgio bituminous shales4
Amazwe: iSwitzerland4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: The first fossils were described by Quenstedt in 1851 to 52 as Ichthyosaurus atavus. In 1998, Maisch and Matzke renamed it Contectopalatus after studying its skull.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating exactly how the tall crest and jaw muscles worked together to give Contectopalatus such a powerful bite.2
