Qianxisaurus was a marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of China about 238 million years ago. It had a long body, a long tail, and a snout longer than the rest of its skull. This creature was not a dinosaur, but a type of eosauropterygian, a group of ancient sea reptiles.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Qianxisaurus had 28 back vertebrae and four sacral vertebrae, which is unusual for early sauropterygians.1

Its skull was only 7.6 cm (3 inches) long, but the whole animal was over 80 cm (2 feet 7 inches) in length.1

The name Qianxisaurus comes from 'Qianxi', meaning western Guizhou in Chinese, and 'saurus' meaning lizard.1

Qianxisaurus had a very small supratemporal fenestra, a hole in the skull roof, which was only slightly larger than a foramen in the parietal bone.1

Its dorsal ribs had a longitudinal groove on the upper-back surface, a feature shared with some other early marine reptiles like Corosaurus and Sanchiaosaurus.1

The only known fossil of Qianxisaurus was discovered in 2006 near the Huangnihe River in Xingyi, Guizhou, and is now kept at the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan.1

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

Igama lenzululwazi: Qianxisaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Cheng et al. 20122
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi zaselwandle
Usapho / iclade: Eosauropterygia2
Ukuhlelwa: Sauropterygia2
Ubudala bamatye: 241 ukuya ku-237 izigidi zeminyaka (Ladinian)2
Izakhiwo zamatye: Falang2
Amazwe: iTshayina2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: Qianxisaurus was named by Yen-Nien Cheng, Xiao-Chun Wu, Tamaki Sato and Hsi-Yin Shan in 2012 based on a nearly complete skeleton found in the Zhuganpo Member of the Falang Formation in Guizhou, China.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Qianxisaurus was a pachypleurosaur or a more basal eosauropterygian, and its exact relationships within the group are still debated.1
