Wangosaurus

Igama lithetha: “Wang's lizard”1

Yayitya: InyamaIzirhubuluzi zaselwandleiTriassic ephakathiNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Wangosaurus was a long, slim marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of China about 237 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a close cousin of the plesiosaurs, with flippers and a short snout.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Wangosaurus lived about 237 million years ago, during the Middle Triassic period.1

Its name brevirostris means 'short snout' in Greek, because its snout was shorter than other similar reptiles.1

The only known skeleton is nearly complete and articulated, meaning the bones were still connected when found.1

Wangosaurus is a basal eosauropterygian, which means it was an early member of the group that later included plesiosaurs.1

It was found in the same rocks as other marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs and thalattosaurs.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Wangosaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Wangosaurus 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: Wangosaurus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Wangosaurus was a marine reptile, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land and had different body features.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Wangosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Ma et al. 20153
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi zaselwandle
Usapho / iclade: Pistosauroidea3
Ukuhlelwa: Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 239 ukuya ku-237 izigidi zeminyaka (Ladinian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Falang3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 2 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Wangosaurus was first described and named by Le-Tian Ma and colleagues in 2015, based on a nearly complete skeleton found in the Falang Formation in China.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Wangosaurus was a pistosauroid or a nothosaur, because it has features of both groups.1
