Muiscasaurus

Igama lithetha: “Muisca lizard (named after the Muisca people of Colombia)”1

Yayitya: InyamaIi-ichthyosauriiCretaceous yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Muiscasaurus was a swimming reptile that lived in the ocean during the time of the dinosaurs. It had a sleek body and flippers like a sea turtle. It hunted small, soft animals in the warm Cretaceous seas.2 1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Muiscasaurus had a very narrow skull and long, thin jaws, like a modern dolphin's snout.1

Its teeth were small and smooth, not ridged like those of its relative Kyhytysuka.1

The only known skeleton belongs to a young animal, because its backbone bones were not fully hardened.1

It lived about 125 to 113 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous.2

Muiscasaurus is a type of ichthyosaur called an ophthalmosaurid, related to Ophthalmosaurus.1 3

A well-preserved skull and near-complete spine (68 vertebrae) was found in 2006, giving scientists a much clearer picture of Muiscasaurus.3

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

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Muiscasaurus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: It was an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that swam in the ocean, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land.2

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Muiscasaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Maxwell et al. 20154
Iqela: Ii-ichthyosauri
Usapho / iclade: Ophthalmosauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Ichthyosauria > Ichthyosauromorpha4
Ubudala bamatye: 126 ukuya ku-113 izigidi zeminyaka (Barremian / Aptian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Paja4
Amazwe: iColombia4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 2 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: The first fossil, a partial skull and skeleton, was described in 2015 and named Muiscasaurus catheti by Maxwell, Dick, Padilla and Parra.2 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how big adult Muiscasaurus grew, because the only known fossils are from a juvenile and a sub-adult.1
