Camedlas

Camedlas is a genus of extinct marine reptiles belonging to the order Plesiosauria. These creatures lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 to 72 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests that Camedlas inhabited the shallow seas that once covered parts of what is now North America. The genus is known from a limited number of fossil discoveries, primarily consisting of skeletal remains.

The morphology of Camedlas indicates it was a plesiosaur, characterized by its long neck, broad body, and paddle-like limbs. While specific details about its diet and behavior are inferred from its skeletal structure and comparisons with related species, it is believed to have been a carnivorous predator, feeding on fish and other marine life. The precise evolutionary relationships of Camedlas within the plesiosaurian tree are still a subject of ongoing research among paleontologists. Its discovery contributes to our understanding of the diversity of marine reptiles during the Mesozoic Era and the ecological dynamics of Cretaceous oceans.
