Lindwurmia was a small, long-necked marine reptile that swam in the seas of Early Jurassic Germany. It was a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur, and it used its four flippers to paddle through the water. This ancient hunter ate fish and other sea creatures.1 2

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Lindwurmia was named in 2019, making it a relatively new discovery in the world of plesiosaurs.1 2

Its name comes from the Lindwurm, a dragon in German stories, because the fossil was found in Germany.1

The only known fossil was discovered in 1899 by Johannes Maak, but it was not recognized as a new species until over a century later.1

Lindwurmia had 24 neck vertebrae and five pairs of teeth in its upper jaw.1

The fossil was partly damaged by a dragline excavator when it was first found, but it was restored by 1900.1

Scientists think Lindwurmia was a rhomaleosaurid, a group of plesiosaurs with short necks and large heads.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Lindwurmia — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Lindwurmia 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: Lindwurmia
Inikwe igama ngu:: Vincent and Storrs 20192
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Plesiosauria2
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia2
Ubudala bamatye: 201 ukuya ku-200 izigidi zeminyaka (Hettangian)2
Amazwe: iJamani2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: The only fossil of Lindwurmia was found in 1899 in a clay quarry in Halberstadt, Germany, by Johannes Maak. It was first described by Theodore Brandes in 1912 and 1914, but it was not named Lindwurmia thiuda until 2019 by Peggy Vincent and Glenn Storrs.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating exactly where Lindwurmia fits on the plesiosaur family tree. Some studies place it close to Anningasaura within Rhomaleosauridae.1
