Elasmosaurus differed from all other plesiosaurs by having 72 neck vertebrae; more may have been present but were later lost to erosion or after excavation. Only Albertonectes had more neck vertebrae, 76, and the two are the only plesiosaurs with a count higher than 70; more than 60 vertebrae is very derived (or "advanced") for plesiosaurs. [14 ...
The fact that the osteology of the plesiosaur's neck makes it absolutely safe to say that the plesiosaur could not lift its head like a swan out of water as the Loch Ness monster does, the assumption that air-breathing animals would be easy to see whenever they appear at the surface to breathe, [146] the fact that the loch is too small and ...
Plesiosaurus was a moderately sized plesiosaur that grew to 2.87–3.5 m (9.4–11.5 ft) in length. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] There are approximately 40 cervical vertebrae (neck vertebrae), with different specimens preserving 38 to 42 cervical vertebrae. [ 15 ]
This is a list of films that feature non-avian dinosaurs and other prehistoric (mainly Mesozoic) archosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles such as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs. For depictions of avian dinosaurs see Category:Films about birds .
Dolichorhynchops (often shortened to "dollies" in the story), a genus of plesiosaur and the main animal in the film. Enchodus, an extinct genus of bony fish; Gillicus, a relatively small, 2-meter long ichthyodectid fish; Gorgosaurus, a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur; Henodus (cameo), a placodont with an elaborate shell of the Late ...
Reptiles diversify and come to dominate both the land and the sea; in a flash-forward to the Jurassic, early sea turtles face predation from plesiosaurs, [f] and their hatchlings must avoid pterosaurs as they race to the water. Back in the Triassic, a massive precipitation event brings an end to the Pangaean desert, turning the world lush and ...
Even before the house lights dim, the cinema experience is well under way, with one concession-stand food holding top billing.. Its roasty, buttery aroma fills the lobby, a smell that’s both ...
Elasmosauridae, often called elasmosaurs or elasmosaurids, is an extinct family of plesiosaurs that lived from the Hauterivian stage of the Early Cretaceous to the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous period (c. 130 to 66 mya).
