PNSO Youran the Guizhouichthyosaurus
A Marine Reptile with a Story to Tell
Guizhouichthyosaurus was a large marine reptile that swam through the shallow seas of what is now China during the Late Triassic period, over 220 million years ago. Despite its dinosaur-like name, Guizhouichthyosaurus was actually an ichthyosaur — a group of ocean-dwelling reptiles that resembled modern dolphins. This species could grow over 15 feet long and had a long, narrow snout lined with conical teeth, ideal for catching slippery prey like fish and cephalopods. Its discovery has helped paleontologists understand how early ichthyosaurs evolved and adapted to life in the open ocean.
