Plesiopleurodon was a marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of North America during the time of the dinosaurs. It had a short neck, a long snout, and a mouth full of sharp, pointy teeth. It used its four flippers to paddle through the water like a sea turtle.1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Plesiopleurodon is known from just one partial skeleton, including a complete skull that is 71.2 cm long.1

Its name means 'near side tooth' because its teeth look a lot like the teeth of the similar pliosaur Liopleurodon.1

Scientists first thought Plesiopleurodon was a pliosaur, but later studies showed it is actually a polycotylid, a type of short-necked plesiosaur.1

It lived around 100 to 94 million years ago, during the early part of the Late Cretaceous Period.2

Plesiopleurodon's front teeth were large and pointed forward, which helped it grab slippery prey.1

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

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Plesiopleurodon

?Was Plesiopleurodon a dinosaur?

No, it was a marine reptile called a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur. It lived in the sea during the time of the dinosaurs.1 3

?How big was Plesiopleurodon?

Scientists are not sure of its total length because only one partial skeleton has been found. Its skull is 71.2 cm long.1 4

?What did Plesiopleurodon eat?

It was a carnivore that ate fish and other marine animals. Its sharp, forward-pointing teeth helped it grab slippery prey.1 3

?When did Plesiopleurodon live?

It lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 100 to 94 million years ago.1 4

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Plesiopleurodon was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Plesiopleurodon was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea. It was not a dinosaur, even though it lived at the same time.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Plesiopleurodon
Inikwe igama ngu:: Carpenter 19964
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Polycotylidae4
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia4
Ubudala bamatye: 100 ukuya ku-94 izigidi zeminyaka (Cenomanian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: 'Hailey Shales'4
Amazwe: iUSA4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Plesiopleurodon was named by paleontologist Kenneth Carpenter in 1996. He based it on a skull, neck bones, and shoulder bones found in Wyoming, USA.4 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still not sure whether the only known fossil of Plesiopleurodon came from the Belle Fourche Shale or the Hailey Shales Formation, because the original records disagree.1
