izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Sinopliosaurus lived from about 184 to 143 million years ago, during the Jurassic period.1

Its teeth were small, curved, and had grooves along the crown.1

The backbone bones were flat at both ends, which is a special feature.1

It was a fast swimmer that lived near the surface of the sea.4

The type specimen includes a tooth and three vertebrae, found in 1939.2

Ukufunyanwa: Sinopliosaurus was named by Chinese scientist Yang Zhongjian (C.C. Young) in 1944. The first fossils were found by H.H. Yao in 1939 in Sichuan, China.2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Some scientists think Sinopliosaurus weiyuanensis might not be a valid species, because the fossils are too few and incomplete.1
