Yayitya: InyamaIimosasauriiCretaceous yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Tethysaurus was a marine lizard that swam in warm seas about 90 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a fierce predator that hunted fish and other sea creatures.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Tethysaurus was a medium-sized mosasaur, less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long.1

Its name comes from Tethys, the Greek goddess of the sea, and honors Hungarian paleontologist Baron Ferenc Nopcsa.1

Tethysaurus had a skull with a broad, rounded snout and two pairs of teeth in the premaxilla.2

It had 19 to 20 teeth in each upper jaw bone (maxilla) and at least 19 teeth in each lower jaw bone (dentary).2

Scientists think Tethysaurus was an early relative of later, bigger mosasaurs like Mosasaurus.1

Its fossils were found in limestone nodules that formed in a shallow, warm sea.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Tethysaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Tethysaurus 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: Tethysaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Bardet et al. 20033
Iqela: Iimosasauri
Usapho / iclade: Tethysaurinae3
Ukuhlelwa: Mosasauroidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 94 ukuya ku-90 izigidi zeminyaka (Turonian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Akrabou3
Amazwe: iMorocco3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Tethysaurus was named in 2003 by Nathalie Bardet, Xabier Pereda Suberbiola, and Nour-Eddine Jalil, based on a nearly complete skull and other bones found near Goulmima, Morocco.2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating exactly how Tethysaurus is related to other mosasaurs and whether it belongs in the family Mosasauridae or is a more primitive cousin.1
