名字的意思： “Komensaurus means 'Komen lizard' after the town of Komen in Slovenia”1

吃：魚滄龍類白堊紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Komensaurus was an ancient marine lizard that swam in warm seas during the time of the dinosaurs. It was a small, early relative of the giant mosasaurs like Tylosaurus. Its fossils were found in limestone rocks in Slovenia.1 4

趣味小知識：這種海生爬蟲類在海裡游泳的時候，恐龍正在陸地上走路。大家都叫牠們恐龍，但牠們其實是爬蟲類的另一個分支。

趣味知識

Komensaurus lived about 100 to 94 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.4

It was a basal aigialosaurid mosasauroid, meaning it was an early member of the group that later gave rise to the huge marine predators called mosasaurs.1

The only known fossil of Komensaurus was found in limestone that formed in a shallow sea.1

Before it was officially named, scientists called it the 'Trieste aigialosaur' because it was found near the city of Trieste.1

Komensaurus lived at the same time and place as another early mosasauroid called Carsosaurus.1

The type species is Komensaurus carrolli, named in 2007 by paleontologists Michael Caldwell and Alessandro Palci.1

發現: The first fossil of Komensaurus was discovered in Slovenia and was originally called the 'Trieste aigialosaur'. In 2007, scientists Michael Caldwell and Alessandro Palci named it Komensaurus carrolli.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure exactly how big Komensaurus grew, because only one partial skeleton has been found.1
