Ogmodirus was a long-necked marine reptile that swam in the shallow seas of ancient Kansas. It was not a dinosaur, but a fierce hunter of fish and other sea creatures.1 3

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Ogmodirus lived about 94 to 89 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1 2

The first fossil, called KUVP 441, was found in 1909 by C. Boyce in Cloud County, Kansas. It included a pelvis, limb bones, and more than 50 neck vertebrae from a young animal.1

Ogmodirus is known from a juvenile skeleton, so scientists are not sure how big adults could get.1

Some scientists think Ogmodirus belongs to the elasmosaur family, which includes Elasmosaurus, but the fossils are too incomplete to be sure.1

A second species, Ogmodirus ischiadicus, was later moved to a different genus called Styxosaurus.1

The name Ogmodirus means 'swollen shin bone', which refers to a feature of its leg bones.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Ogmodirus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Ogmodirus 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: Ogmodirus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Ogmodirus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land, while plesiosaurs swam in the ocean.1

Igama lenzululwazi: Ogmodirus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Williston and Moodie 19133
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Elasmosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Elasmosauridae > Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 94 ukuya ku-90 izigidi zeminyaka (Turonian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Greenhorn Limestone3
Amazwe: iUSA3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Ogmodirus was named by Samuel Wendell Williston and Roy Lee Moodie in 1913, based on a fossil found in Kansas in 1909.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists debate whether Ogmodirus is a valid genus or a dubious one, because the only known skeleton is incomplete and from a juvenile.1 2
