Lusonectes was a marine reptile that swam in the warm Jurassic seas near what is now Portugal. It had a long snout and sharp teeth to catch fish and other slippery prey.2

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

Iinyani ezimnandi

Lusonectes is the only plesiosaur from Portugal that scientists can identify as a distinct species.1

Its name comes from Latin and Greek words meaning 'Portuguese swimmer'.1

The only fossil found is a partial skull, which is about 127 millimeters (5 inches) long.1

Lusonectes lived about 184 to 175 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic period.3

It was first described in 1897 by French paleontologist Henri Émile Sauvage, who thought it was a Plesiosaurus.2

Lusonectes is one of the few plesiosaurs from the Early Jurassic found outside the United Kingdom and Germany.2

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

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Lusonectes
Inikwe igama ngu:: Smith et al. 20123
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Plesiosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 184 ukuya ku-175 izigidi zeminyaka (Toarcian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: São Gião3
Amazwe: iPortugal3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: The fossil was first described in 1897 by French paleontologist Henri Émile Sauvage, who called it Plesiosaurus sp. In 2012, scientists Smith, Araújo, and Mateus gave it the new name Lusonectes sauvagei.2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Lusonectes was an early pliosaurid or a plesiosauroid, because the only fossil is a poorly preserved partial skull.2
