Isfjordosaurus was a small marine reptile that swam in the seas during the Early Triassic, about 248 million years ago. It looked a bit like a dolphin but was not a dinosaur. Its fossils were found on a cold Arctic island called Spitsbergen.1 3

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Isfjordosaurus is known from only a single upper arm bone, called a humerus, which makes it a mysterious animal.2

Some scientists are not sure if Isfjordosaurus was really an ichthyosaur, because the bone looks unusual.2

It lived during the Early Triassic, a time when ichthyosaurs were just starting to appear in the oceans.1

The name Isfjordosaurus comes from the Isfjord, a large fjord on Spitsbergen, where the fossil was found.1

The only known species is called Isfjordosaurus minor, and 'minor' means smaller, hinting it was a small reptile.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Isfjordosaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Isfjordosaurus 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: Some people think Isfjordosaurus was a dinosaur because it lived in the sea and had 'saurus' in its name.

Inyaniso: Isfjordosaurus was an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land.1

Ukufunyanwa: The fossil was first described by Carl Wiman in 1910, but the name Isfjordosaurus was given later by Ryosuke Motani in 1999.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists still debate whether Isfjordosaurus was truly an ichthyosaur, because the only known bone is so unusual.2
