Shonisaurus, marine giant! Found in 1920 in Nevada’s Late #Triassic ~235 mya Luning Formation, this absolutely gigantic marine reptile is not a dinosaur, despite the saurus name, but is rather a huge #ichthyosaur! At nearly 50’ in length it is astounding to behold here at the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. Longer, and probably heavier, than a full-sized yellow school bus, I grew up thinking it lived in schools as 37 skeletons were excavated from one Nevada desert locality in the 1950s

Ever wondered why scientific names are so detailed? Genus names like 'Shonisaurus' and 'Omphalosaurus' help scientists classify different ichthyosaurs, while species names describe even more specifics! Fun fact: 'Shonisaurus' is named after the Shoshone Mountains in Nevada! Visit the exhibit to meet “Jim II,” “Eva,” and other fossils that bring these ancient creatures to life. #Ichthyosaur #Fossil #DeepTime #SeaDragonsOfNevada #Paleontology #berlinichthyosaurstatepark #NevadaArt | Nevada Museum
