Английская Википедия:Bentiabasaurus
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic taxobox Bentiabasaurus is an extinct genus of mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous Mocuio Formation of Angola.[1] The type and only species of the genus, B. jacobsi, was described in 2023 by Michael Polcyn, Anne Schulp and António Gonçalves. The animal is known from a partial skeleton, including parts of the skull and mandibles, alongside a number of vertebrae and ribs. The syntypes were recovered from the Bench 19 Bonebed near Bentiaba, Angola. The genus name is a combination of the name Bentiaba, the place near which it was found, and the Ancient Greek σαῦρος (saûros, "lizard"). The species name, jacobsi, refers to Professor Louis L. Jacobs, in honor of his contributions to African vertebrate paleontology.[2]
