AI synopsis

What people are saying

The discussions highlight the fascinating evolutionary timeline of ichthyosaurs, with remarks on their rapid growth in size compared to whales, and references to specific features like a 2-meter skull and 18-meter body length. Phrases like 'splendid discovery' and 'transformative potential' convey a sense of excitement and significance, reinforcing the overall positive sentiment toward the research.

AgreementStrong agreement

The discussions overwhelmingly agree with the findings of the publication and showcase admiration for the research.

InterestHigh interest

Participants display high curiosity, sharing details about ichthyosaurs and engaging in debates about their evolution and size.

EngagementHigh engagement

Many posts provide in-depth discussions on the implications of the study, discussing previous research and contrasting ichthyosaurs with modern cetaceans.

ImpactHigh impact

There is a consensus that these findings have significant implications for understanding marine evolution and the development of large body sizes.

Abstract in brief

  • A new giant ichthyosaur species from the Middle Triassic, with a 2-meter-long skull, shows that these marine reptiles evolved larger body sizes more quickly than modern whales.
  • High primary production in modern oceans is thought to enable giant cetaceans, but this doesn't explain the rapid size increase seen in Triassic ichthyosaurs.
  • The Fossil Hill Fauna from Nevada had a diverse size range of ichthyosaurs, suggesting that even without many modern primary producers, the Middle Triassic marine ecosystem could support large-bodied species early on.

A new Science study describes the 244-million-year-old remains of a new and very large species of ichthyosaur that appears to be the first ocean giant. The creature is estimated to have been more than 18 meters long when alive. Learn more: https://t.co/N5EncxZtYt https://t.co/ardN0r2clP

The authors say the 2m skull they of an ichthyosaur Cymbospondylus they found might translate to a length of 18-25 meters. Shastasaurus is ~21 meters. A shastasaurian fragment suggests a length of 26 meters. Thus, ichthyosaurs rapid reached whale sizes https://t.co/LK76o3hKuh

There talks that whales achieved giant sizes much later (in the Quaternary) than ichthyosaurs https://t.co/VKsWFTOvDj . Here we can see that humongous sizes were achieved much earlier (30 Myrs) than though before in a primitive stem group. Congrat on this splendid discovery! https://t.co/xjzlu2wj0B

Esse sim anterior aos dinossauros e com um tamanho possivelmente mais próximo ao das baleias. Eles inclusive fazem uma comparação sobre como se deu o gigantismo em ambas as espécies https://t.co/5PZqMYnQRu
