Kimmerosaurus was a plesiosaur, a long-necked marine reptile that swam in the Jurassic seas. It had a broad skull and sharp, curved teeth for catching fish. Only its skull and a few neck bones have been found, so scientists are still guessing what the rest of its body looked like.1 2

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Kimmerosaurus is known from only a few skulls and neck bones. No one has found its flippers, tail, or body.1

Some scientists think Kimmerosaurus might actually be the missing head of another plesiosaur called Colymbosaurus, because their neck bones look alike.1

The first Kimmerosaurus fossil was a partial skull found in 1976 by Peter Langham on the Jurassic Coast of England.1

Kimmerosaurus had 8 teeth in its upper jaw and 36 teeth on each side of its lower jaw, all sharply pointed.1

The most complete specimen was discovered on March 7, 2015, and includes the skull roof, brain case, teeth, and vertebrae.1

Kimmerosaurus lived about 152 to 147 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.1 2

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

?Was Kimmerosaurus a dinosaur?

No, Kimmerosaurus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile, not a dinosaur.1

?How big was Kimmerosaurus?

Nobody knows for sure. Only its skull and a few neck bones have been found, so its full size is unknown.1

?What did Kimmerosaurus eat?

It likely ate fish, using its sharp, curved teeth to catch them.1

?Where did Kimmerosaurus live?

It lived in the seas near what is now England and Norway, about 152 to 147 million years ago.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Kimmerosaurus is often thought to be a dinosaur because it lived in the Jurassic.

Inyaniso: Kimmerosaurus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that swam in the ocean. It was not a dinosaur.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Kimmerosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Brown 19812
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Cryptoclididae2
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia2
Ubudala bamatye: 155 ukuya ku-145 izigidi zeminyaka (Kimmeridgian / Tithonian)2
Izakhiwo zamatye: Kimmeridge Clay2
Amazwe: iUnited Kingdom2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 2 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: Kimmerosaurus was named by D. S. Brown in 1981 based on a partial skull found in Dorset, England, in 1976 by Peter Langham. The name comes from the Kimmeridge Clay where it was found.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure what the rest of Kimmerosaurus's body looked like. Some think it might be the same animal as Colymbosaurus, but no one knows for certain.1
