Parrassaurus was a fast-swimming marine reptile that lived in the warm seas of Mexico during the Late Jurassic. It looked a bit like a dolphin but was actually an ichthyosaur, not a dinosaur. With its long snout and big eyes, it was a skilled hunter of fish and squid.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Parrassaurus had an extremely long snout in front of its nostrils, which helped it snap up prey.1

Its skull had a unique feature: the opening for the nostril was split into two parts by a bone from the upper jaw.1

This ichthyosaur belonged to a group called ophthalmosaurids, which had very large eyes.2

Parrassaurus is only known from one nearly complete skeleton, found on a ranch in Coahuila.3 1

It lived about 145 million years ago, at the very end of the Jurassic Period.3

Parrassaurus was named in 2021, making it a relatively new discovery for scientists.3

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Parrassaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Parrassaurus 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: Parrassaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Barrientos-Lara and Alvarado-Ortega 20213
Iqela: Ii-ichthyosauri
Usapho / iclade: Ophthalmosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Ichthyosauria > Ichthyosauromorpha3
Ubudala bamatye: 145 ukuya ku-143 izigidi zeminyaka (Tithonian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: La Caja3
Amazwe: iMexico3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Parrassaurus was named in 2021 by paleontologists Jair Israel Barrientos-Lara and Jesús Alvarado-Ortega based on a skeleton found in the La Caja Formation of Coahuila, Mexico.3 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating how Parrassaurus is related to other ichthyosaurs, especially other platypterygiines from North America.1
