Palmulasaurus was a fast-swimming marine reptile that lived in the warm seas of Utah about 93 million years ago. It had a long neck and four flippers to paddle through the water. Even though it looked like a dinosaur, it was actually a plesiosaur, a different kind of ancient reptile.1 3

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Palmulasaurus was first called Palmula, but that name was already used for a tiny fossil shell. Scientists had to give it a new name.1

It lived during the Turonian stage, about 94 to 89 million years ago.1 3

Palmulasaurus belonged to a group of plesiosaurs called polycotylids, which had short necks and were fast swimmers.1

Its fossils were found in the Tropic Shale in Utah, which was once a warm, shallow sea.1 3

Palmulasaurus gave birth to live young, not eggs, like many other marine reptiles.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Palmulasaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Palmulasaurus 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: Palmulasaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Albright et al. 20073
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Polycotylidae3
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 94 ukuya ku-90 izigidi zeminyaka (Turonian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Tropic Shale3
Amazwe: iUSA3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Palmulasaurus was named by L. B. Albright, D. D. Gillette, and A. L. Titus in 2007. They originally called it Palmula, but that name was already taken by a foraminiferan, so they changed it to Palmulasaurus.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how big Palmulasaurus grew, because only a few fossils have been found.1
