izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Grendelius was first described in 1976 from a fossil found in the Kimmeridge Clay of England.1

Its name comes from Grendel, the monster in the Old English poem Beowulf.1

Grendelius had a very short and wide front flipper, which helped it steer quickly through the water.2

Scientists think Grendelius gave birth to live young, like other ichthyosaurs, instead of laying eggs.2

Some experts believe Grendelius might be the same animal as Brachypterygius extremus, but others disagree.2

Fossils of Grendelius have been found in both England and Russia, showing it lived across a wide area of the Jurassic ocean.1 4

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Grendelius — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Grendelius 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: Grendelius
Inikwe igama ngu:: McGowan 19764
Iqela: Ii-ichthyosauri
Usapho / iclade: Ophthalmosauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Ichthyosauria > Ichthyosauromorpha4
Ubudala bamatye: 155 ukuya ku-143 izigidi zeminyaka (Kimmeridgian / Tithonian)4
Amazwe: iRashiya4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 6 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Grendelius was named by paleontologist C. McGowan in 1976, based on a partial skeleton found in the Kimmeridge Clay of Stowbridge, Norfolk, England.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure if Grendelius is a separate genus or if it should be called Brachypterygius extremus. The classification is still debated.2
