Shastasaurus is an extinct genus of marine reptiles that lived during the Triassic period, approximately 240 to 210 million years ago. It is classified as a member of the ichthyosaur group, which were highly adapted marine reptiles that resembled fish and dolphins in appearance. Shastasaurus is notable for being one of the largest known ichthyosaurs, with some species reaching lengths of up to 65 feet (20 meters).
Shastasaurus had a streamlined body, a long snout, and a large number of sharp teeth, which indicates that it was a formidable predator in the ancient oceans. It had a flexible body supported by a series of interlocking vertebrae, allowing it to move quickly through the water and capture prey.
Fossils of Shastasaurus have been found in various locations around the world, including North America, Europe, and China. The genus was named after Mount Shasta in California, where the first fossils of Shastasaurus were discovered.
