Description
Bishanopliosaurus was a small plesiosaur, measuring about 4 m (13 ft) long.[1] It can be differentiated by the bifurcated ribs of its sacrum. Unusually, it appears to be a freshwater plesiosaur.[2] A second species, B. zigongensis, is known from the slightly later Xiashaximiao Formation.[3]
