Guizhouichthyosaurus

Igama lithetha: “Guizhou lizard fish”1

Yayitya: InyamaIi-ichthyosauriiTriassic ephakathi ukuya ku-iTriassic yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Guizhouichthyosaurus was a giant marine reptile that swam in the seas of what is now China during the Triassic Period. It looked like a dolphin but was much bigger, with a long snout and a tail that bent downward at the tip. This apex predator ate other large marine reptiles, even though its teeth were small and smooth.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

One fossil of Guizhouichthyosaurus had the remains of a thalattosaur (another marine reptile) inside its stomach, showing it was an apex predator.1

Its teeth were small and smooth, not sharp like steak knives, so it probably grabbed prey and swallowed it whole.1

Guizhouichthyosaurus swam like an eel, wiggling its whole body, unlike later ichthyosaurs that swam more like tuna.1

Scientists think there were two different body shapes (morphotypes) of this species, possibly males and females.1

It lived about 239 to 227 million years ago, during the Middle and Late Triassic.2

Some scientists once thought Guizhouichthyosaurus was the same as Shastasaurus, but now most agree it is its own genus.1

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

?How big was Guizhouichthyosaurus?

About 5 metres (16 feet) long, with some specimens over 6 metres (20 feet).1

?What did Guizhouichthyosaurus eat?

It ate other large marine reptiles, like the thalattosaur Xinpusaurus. One fossil had a thalattosaur in its stomach, showing it was an apex predator.1 4

?Was Guizhouichthyosaurus a dinosaur?

No, it was an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea. It was not a dinosaur.1

?How did Guizhouichthyosaurus swim?

It swam like an eel, wiggling its whole body, unlike later ichthyosaurs that swam more like tuna.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Guizhouichthyosaurus had huge, sharp teeth like a T. rex.

Inyaniso: Its teeth were actually small and smooth, more like pegs, and it used them to grip prey rather than slice it.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Guizhouichthyosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: akwaziwa5
Iqela: Ii-ichthyosauri
Usapho / iclade: Shastasauridae5
Ukuhlelwa: Ichthyosauria > Ichthyosauria > Ichthyosauromorpha > Ichthyosauromorpha5
Ubudala bamatye: 241 ukuya ku-227 izigidi zeminyaka (Ladinian / Carnian)5
Izakhiwo zamatye: Xiaowa, Falang, Wayao5
Amazwe: iTshayina5
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 8 kwi-Paleobiology Database5
Ukufunyanwa: The first fossils were named by Y. Cao and Y. Luo in 2000, based on a well-preserved skeleton missing its hips and tail tip.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists still debate whether Guizhouichthyosaurus is really a separate genus from Shastasaurus or just a species of it.1
