Dianopachysaurus was a tiny marine reptile that swam in warm seas about 245 million years ago. It looked a bit like a modern sea lizard but with a long tail and flippers. This little creature was only as long as a pencil!1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Dianopachysaurus is a pachypleurosaur, a group of small marine reptiles that lived during the Triassic Period.1

Its closest relative is Keichousaurus, another Chinese pachypleurosaur. Both belong to the family Keichousauridae.1

The only fossil found so far is an almost complete skeleton, but the tip of the tail is missing.1

It had 20 neck vertebrae, 19 back vertebrae, 3 hip vertebrae, and at least 17 tail vertebrae.1

Dianopachysaurus lived in the eastern Tethys Ocean, which covered parts of what is now China.1

This reptile helps scientists understand how pachypleurosaurs spread from the eastern Tethys to Europe.1

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

Igama lenzululwazi: Dianopachysaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Liu et al. 20113
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi zaselwandle
Usapho / iclade: Keichousauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 244 ukuya ku-243 izigidi zeminyaka ()3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Guanling3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Dianopachysaurus was named in 2011 by a team of scientists led by Jun Liu. The only fossil was found in the Guanling Formation of Yunnan, China.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how long the tail was, because the only known fossil is missing its tip.1
