Maresaurus was a fierce marine reptile that swam in the oceans of what is now Argentina about 170 million years ago. It was a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur, and it used its strong jaws to catch fish and other sea creatures.3 2

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

Iinyani ezimnandi

Maresaurus lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 170 to 168 million years ago.2

The only known fossil of Maresaurus is a partial skeleton that includes a skull, lower jaw, and some neck bones.3

Scientists think Maresaurus belonged to a group of plesiosaurs called rhomaleosaurids, which were short-necked predators.1

Maresaurus was named by paleontologist Zulma Gasparini in 1997.3 1

The type species is called Maresaurus coccai.1

Maresaurus fossils were found in the Los Molles Formation, which was once a shallow sea.3 1

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