Paleontologists have discovered a new species of Eurhinosaurus — a genus of European longirostrine ichthyosaur characterized by its remarkable overbite — in Bavaria, southern Germany. “Ichthyosauria is a diverse group of reptiles well-adapted to marine life that thrived from the Early Triassic to the early Late Cretaceous,” said lead author Dr. Gaël Spicher, a researcher at the JURASSICA Museum, the University of Fribourg and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, and his colleagues. “Ichthyosaurs exhibit morphological features such as limbs modified into fins, elongated snouts, deeply amphicoelous vertebrae, and the development of a tail fin that shows that they were fully adapted to aquatic life.”
