Igama lithetha: “broad clavicle”1

Yayitya: InyamaIiplesiosauriiJurassic yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Eurycleidus was a big, swimming reptile that lived in the sea during the Early Jurassic, about 200 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a plesiosaur with a long body and strong flippers. It used its sharp, needle-like teeth to catch fish.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Eurycleidus had large shoulder bones, which gave it a powerful forward stroke for fast swimming.1

The first fossils were bought by Thomas Hawkins in the early 1830s from a quarry in Street, Somerset, England.1

In 1837, Richard Owen mistakenly thought the fossils came from Lyme Regis, but they actually came from Somerset.1

The species was first named Plesiosaurus arcuatus in 1840, and later renamed Eurycleidus in 1922.1

Some fossils that were once thought to be Eurycleidus were later moved to other genera, like Atychodracon and Lindwurmia.1

Eurycleidus lived in the sea and was an active swimmer, living near the surface.2

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

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Eurycleidus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Eurycleidus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile, not a dinosaur.1

Ukufunyanwa: The first fossils were collected by Thomas Hawkins in the early 1830s from a quarry in Street, Somerset, England. Richard Owen named the species Plesiosaurus arcuatus in 1840, and Charles William Andrews renamed it Eurycleidus in 1922.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists still debate exactly which fossils belong to Eurycleidus, because some specimens were later moved to other genera.1
