The reptile Hyphalosaurus/
Sinohydrosaurus was discovered in 1999 by two independent teams of
Palaeontologists working in Beijing, thus explaining the two names. This
fossil was found in the Yixina Formation, the same formation as the
recently discovered ‘link’ between reptiles and birds.
Complete fossil remains are scarce.
Juvenile examples such as this specimen are particularly unusual because
of the delicate nature of the bones . When fully grown the Hyphalosaurus
measures approximately 24 – 30 inches. This example measures approximately
6 inches from nose to tail.
