Eidolosaurus
Eidolosaurus was a marine lizard that swam in the seas during the time of the dinosaurs. It had a long, oar-like tail and lived about 100 to 90 million years ago. Scientists know it from a fossil that is mostly an impression, like a shadow in the rock.21

Iinyani ezimnandi
Eidolosaurus had a long, broad, oar-like tail, which helped it swim in the sea.1
The fossil is mostly an impression, not solid bones, so scientists call it a 'shadowlike imprint'.1
It had 34 vertebrae in its back, 2 in its hips, and at least 48 in its tail.1
Eidolosaurus is related to other marine lizards like mosasaurs and dolichosaurs, but it is not a dinosaur.21
The fossil was found during the demolition of a house, and it was given to scientists by Dr. Trauth.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi
Intsomi: Some people might think Eidolosaurus was a dinosaur because it lived long ago.
Inyaniso: Eidolosaurus was a marine lizard, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land, and this animal swam in the sea.2

- The fossil was found during the demolition of a house in Slovenia, and Dr. Trauth showed it to Baron Nopcsa. Nopcsa named it Eidolosaurus trauthi in 1923.1
- Kusaxoxwa ngayo
- Scientists are not sure exactly what Eidolosaurus ate or how it lived, because the fossil is only an impression and not complete bones.2
