Depicted Animals

Stenopterygius quadriscissus  (QUENSTEDT, 1856)
3.5 M    182 MYA   

Systematics: Stenopterygiidae, Ichthyosauria, Diapsida, Reptilia
Habitat: marine; pelagic

A European ichthyosaur well known from the Early Jurassic «Posidonienschiefer» (Lias Epsilon, Lower Toarcian) of Germany. The species is famous for its numerous articulated skeletons of pregnant females, each unearthed together with one to more than 10 embryos. From individuals with preserved body shapes («Hautschatten») we know that Stenopterygius had a dolphin-like body outline with dorsal fin and sickle-shaped propulsive tail fin.
