Cymbospondylus

Cymbospondylus was an early ichthyosaur that lived in during the Triassic Period.

They were one of the largest ichthyosaurs. It was different from other ichthyosaurs. It had a dorsal fin and a flaked tail. But it had an elongated snout like the others. It ate small to medium sized fish, belemnites, and cephalopods (ammonites). The long tail made it a fast swimmer.

These are very interesting animals!!!
