Kwangsisaurus was a marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of China during the Middle Triassic. It was a type of sauropterygian, a group that includes the famous plesiosaurs. This reptile had a long body and paddle-like limbs for swimming.1 1

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

Iinyani ezimnandi

Kwangsisaurus was named by Chinese paleontologist Yang Zhongjian (also known as C. C. Young) in 1959.1

The only known fossil of Kwangsisaurus is a partial skeleton found in Wuming County, Guangxi, China.2

Kwangsisaurus lived during the Olenekian to Anisian stages of the Triassic, about 250 to 244 million years ago.1 2

This reptile was a pistosaurid, a group of early sauropterygians that were ancestors of the later plesiosaurs.1

Kwangsisaurus had dorsal vertebrae with long, expanded transverse processes, which helped support its body.1

Its coracoid bone was broad and plate-like, with a rounded inner edge and a bell-shaped outer edge.1

The humerus (upper arm bone) of Kwangsisaurus was curved, and it lacked an entepicondylar foramen, a hole found in some other reptiles.1

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