They were carnivorous predators, and being streamlined and swift were extremely well adapted to their marine habitat. They inhabited an ecological niche that was similar to that of the present day porpoises marine mammals. Temnodontosaurus ichthyosaurs existed around 200 to 175 million years ago in the Early Jurassic. For a blackandwhite version of this artwork, see C0386469. Stock Photo - Afloimages
