canalus
Canalus refers to a genus of extinct marine reptiles belonging to the order Plesiosauria. These creatures lived during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 125 to 113 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests they were medium-sized plesiosaurs, distinguished by specific anatomical features that differentiate them from other related groups. The genus was first described based on remains found in the United Kingdom.
The most notable characteristic of canalus is its skeletal structure, particularly within its vertebral column and
The discovery of canalus has contributed to our understanding of plesiosaur diversity and evolution during the
