Meyerasaurus, with the type species Meyerasaurus victor, is an Extinct marine reptile. Meyerasaurus victor was found in 2010, near Harpoceras elegantulum-falciferum ammonoid subzones, located around southwestern Germany. The reptile initially found its place in the plesiosaurus species of the marine creature, later in the 'wonder reptile' species of Thaumatosaurus, and at last, the Rhomaleosauridae. Meyerasaurus facts speak of its diverging history with other aggressive and predatory dinosaurs.
Meyerasaurus is pronounced as 'My-era-sore-us'. This name means 'Meyer’s lizard'.
Meyerasaurus was not exactly a dinosaur but a marine reptile that coexisted with other dinosaurs.
Meyerasaurus belonged to the Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic period, around 183–180 million years ago.
Meyerasaurus's exact extinction time period is yet to be found.
Meyerasaurus is found to have lived in Germany.
Belonging to the family of Rhomaleosauridae, Meyerasaurus was a marine reptile that lived deep in oceans.
Meyerasaurus lived around other marine reptile species such as pliosaurs.
The life span of this animal is not clearly identified.
Meyerasaurus reproduced by giving birth to live offspring.
Meyerasaurus victor was a type of reptile with an appearance resembling a strong lizard. The marine reptile had an elongated neck and strong flippers instead of limbs to move back and forth through the depth of waters along with a tail. Meyerasaurus was a close relative of pliosaurs but less threatening.
State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart, fortunately, houses the complete fossil of Meyerasaurus victor from the genus Meyerasaurus, presented with an articulated skull and a skeleton in ventral view. Meyerasaurus from the Early Jurassic was excavated with its 14.5 in (37 cm) long skull intact.
Meyerasaurus communication is yet to be discovered.
The recorded length of the found Meyerasaurus specimen is 11 ft (3 m).
The details are yet to be ascertained.
The information on their weight is yet to be found.
There are no records for any differentiation between male or female Meyerasaurus.
The information is yet to be concluded.
Meyerasaurus primarily survived on smaller marine animals such as fish, squids, or mollusks. Since the species owned a sharp set of teeth but were incapable of tearing apart hard flesh, Meyerasaurus was not an excessively aggressive species. It is unknown exactly how strong their teeth were.
