Thaumatosaurus was a plesiosaur, a long-necked marine reptile that lived in the sea. It swam in warm, shallow waters during the Jurassic Period, about 168 to 165 million years ago. Scientists are not sure exactly what it looked like because the fossils are very incomplete.2 1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Thaumatosaurus was named in 1841 by the paleontologist Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer.1

The name Thaumatosaurus means 'wonder reptile' in Greek.1

Many fossils that were once called Thaumatosaurus are now thought to belong to other plesiosaurs like Rhomaleosaurus and Meyerasaurus.1

Thaumatosaurus is considered a 'nomen dubium' or doubtful name, because the original fossil pieces are too few to tell exactly what kind of plesiosaur it was.1

The fossils of Thaumatosaurus were found in rocks from the Bathonian stage, which is about 168 to 165 million years old.2

Thaumatosaurus lived in the ocean and was a strong swimmer, using its flippers to move through the water.2

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

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think Thaumatosaurus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Thaumatosaurus was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land.1

Ukufunyanwa: Thaumatosaurus was named in 1841 by the German paleontologist Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer. He described the species Thaumatosaurus oolithicus from partial skull, backbone and limb fossils found in Germany.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure what Thaumatosaurus really looked like because the original fossils are too incomplete. It might be the same as another plesiosaur.1
