Sinocyamodus was a marine reptile that lived during the Late Triassic, about 232 to 222 million years ago. It looked like a turtle with a flat, bony shell and a beak for crushing shellfish. This placodont was the first of its kind found in the eastern Tethys Ocean, changing what scientists thought about where these reptiles lived.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Sinocyamodus was a placodont, a group of marine reptiles that were not dinosaurs but relatives of modern turtles.1

It was the first placodont discovered in the eastern Tethys Ocean, showing that these reptiles were not only found in the western Tethys as scientists once thought.1

Only one species is known: Sinocyamodus xinpuensis.1

The first adult specimen was reported in 2018, and it looked different from younger fossils, showing that Sinocyamodus changed as it grew.1

Sinocyamodus lived in a marine environment during the Late Triassic, about 232 to 222 million years ago.1 2

Its fossils have been found in the Xiaowa Formation in Guizhou, China.1 2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Sinocyamodus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Sinocyamodus 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: Sinocyamodus
Inikwe igama ngu:: akwaziwa3
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi zaselwandle
Usapho / iclade: Cyamodontidae3
Ukuhlelwa: Placodontia > Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 234 ukuya ku-227 izigidi zeminyaka (Carnian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Xiaowa3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Sinocyamodus was named by Li Chun in 2000 based on fossils from the Late Triassic of Guizhou, southwest China. It was the first placodont reptile found in the eastern Tethys region.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still unsure about the exact size and weight of Sinocyamodus, as only a few fossils have been found.1
