Chinese scientists studying a 244-million-year-old ichthyosaur Mixosaurus fossil from Southwest China’s Guizhou Province found at least 11 embryos inside the specimen. The discovery sets a new record for the highest number of embryos found in ichthyosaur lineages and reveals that high reproductive capacity in ichthyosaurs emerged earlier than previously believed, chinanews.com reported on Wednesday.
Ichthyosaur was among the most successful Mesozoic marine reptiles, and its reproductive strategy was considered crucial to their adaptation to ocean environments. Its reproductive ability before extinction has long intrigued paleontologists.
A joint research team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History, has published the study on the ichthyosaur paleontology in the international journal PeerJ.
According to Wang Wei, the paper’s corresponding author and an associate professor at the institute, embryo-preserving ichthyosaur fossils have been found across 11 genera from the Early Triassic to the Early Cretaceous.
However, for ichthyosaur groups that diverged in the Early Triassic, embryo-bearing fossils known to scientists remain scarce, and knowledge about the number of offspring they carried is especially limited. Previous discoveries of pregnant specimens, such as Chaohusaurus and Mixosaurus, contained no more than three embryos, suggesting limited early reproductive capacity among early ichthyosaurs.
According to Gu Shengxiao, the paper’s first author and a researcher at the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History, the study examined an almost complete adult Mixosaurus panxianensis fossil from Guizhou’s Middle Triassic strata, dating back about 244 million years. The specimen measures 112 centimeters long, including a skull length of 22 centimeters, with only the tail tip missing.
The researchers identified 11 fetal ichthyosaur skeletons with skulls inside the adult specimen’s abdomen, confirming they were embryos rather than cannibalized prey based on their position and morphology. There are also fossil pieces outside the belly of the adult, which could belong to the 11 or represent other embryos.
All embryos in the Mixosaurus panxianensis fossil were at a similar late developmental stage, suggesting the mother died shortly before giving birth, according to the researchers.
The Mixosaurus panxianensis fossil containing at least 11 embryos sets a record for Triassic ichthyosaurs and all known ichthyosaur species. The researchers believe this indicates that Mixosaurus may have adopted a reproductive strategy of producing large numbers of offspring in a single birth. This exceptionally high reproductive capacity may have provided them with a survival advantage.
Among Triassic ichthyosaurs and all known ichthyosaur groups, Mixosaurus is the genus with the largest number of fossil specimens and is also one of the most widely distributed ichthyosaurs.
The researchers said the multi-embryo Mixosaurus panxianensis fossil may represent an extreme case, but it confirms the species’ ability to produce large numbers of offspring, potentially contributing to its dominance among contemporaneous marine reptiles.
The study offers the first fossil evidence of high fertility in Triassic ichthyosaurs. Future research will examine other embryo-bearing Triassic ichthyosaurs to determine whether a multiple-offspring reproductive strategy was common in early ichthyosaur evolution and what factors drove this trait, Wang said.

。Yost 此前已作为编剧参与该项目,此次升任联合剧集负责人是一次重大的提升。

B | Heisserer 的加入为该系列增添了更多科幻创作实力。Yost 多年来参与了多部《星球大战》和漫威项目。他曾担任《曼达洛人》第一季的顾问和编剧,并参与创作了两部《雷神》续集(《黑暗世界》和《诸神黄昏》)。他此前还担任过 Paramount+ 剧集《忍者神龟:变种大乱斗》的剧集负责人。Heisserer 最近担任了 Netflix 剧集《太阳召唤》的剧集负责人,他同时也是该剧的创作者和制片人。

C | 你可能还知道他是丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦执导的电影《降临》的编剧,该片改编自特德·姜广受欢迎的科幻短篇小说。随着经验丰富的科幻剧集负责人掌舵以及 Seth MacFarlane 的 Fuzzy Door 影业参与,Dungeon Crawler Carl 系列剧集似乎已为成功做好了充分准备。在圣迭戈漫展期间,官方还宣布有声书的叙述者 Jeff Hays 将回归,继续为“甜甜圈公主”(Princess Donut)配音。Dinniman 本人对这一决定表示赞赏,称:“他与那个声音紧密相连。

D | 换成其他任何人都会让人感到违和。”虽然该剧集尚未公布上映日期,但由《Dungeon Crawler》系列书籍本身带动的热度可能会持续多年。Matt Dinniman 还有两本书待完成,此外,基于该系列开发的 Dungeon Crawler Carl tabletop RPG 也将于 12 月发布。在流媒体方面,Peacock 最近宣布了四年内的第四次涨价。

E | 在此次涨价之际,该服务计划在 2027 年初开始为订户免费提供 YouTube Premium。
