Yuzhoupliosaurus was a plesiosaur, a long-necked marine reptile that lived in the Middle Jurassic period. It swam in the waters of what is now China, and it was a meat-eater that caught fish and other prey with its sharp teeth.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Yuzhoupliosaurus is known only from a lower jaw, eighteen vertebrae, parts of a shoulder girdle, and pieces of the right hindlimb.1

Its neck bones (cervical vertebrae) are described as 'high and short', and the front neck ribs are double-headed while the back ones are single-headed.1

The name Yuzhoupliosaurus comes from Yuzhou, an old name for the city of Chongqing in China, where the first fossil was found.1

Scientists think Yuzhoupliosaurus lived in fresh water, which is unusual for plesiosaurs that mostly lived in the sea.1

It lived during the Middle Jurassic, about 174 to 161 million years ago.2

Yuzhoupliosaurus had long, well-developed collarbones (clavicles) and elongated coracoids (part of the shoulder blade).1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Yuzhoupliosaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Yuzhoupliosaurus 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: Yuzhoupliosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Zhang 19853
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Rhomaleosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Sauropterygia3
Ubudala bamatye: 175 ukuya ku-162 izigidi zeminyaka (Aalenian / Callovian)3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Yuzhoupliosaurus was named by Chinese paleontologist Zhang in 1985, based on a partial skeleton found in Chongqing, China.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Yuzhoupliosaurus lived in fresh water or salt water, because the fossil was found in rocks that could be from a river or lake.1
