Reiptíl mhuirí

Is éard is reiptílí muirí ann ná reiptílí atá oiriúnaithe go tánaisteach do shaol uisceach nó leathuisceach i dtimpeallacht mhuirí.

Ba é Mesosaurus (gan é a mheascadh le Mosasaurus) an reiptíl mhuirí ba luaithe, rud a d'eascair san Tréimhse Pheirmeachré den Phailéasóch. ^[1] Le linn na Ré Méiseasóiche, cuireadh go leor grúpaí reiptílí in oiriúint don saol sna farraigí, lena n-áirítear cláid aithnidiúla ar nós Ichthyosauria, Plesiosauria (measadh uair amháin go raibh an dá ord seo aontaithe sa ghrúpa "Enaliosauria",^[2] bhí shíl uair amháin an dá ordú aontaithe sa ghrúpa "Enaliosauria ", aicmiú atá anois i léig), Mosasauroidea, Nothosauria, Placodontia, Chelonioidea, Thalattosauria agusThalattosuchia. Chuaigh formhór na reiptílí muirí in éag ag deireadh na Tréimhse Cailcí, ach bhí cuid acu fós ann le linn na Ré Caenasóí, go mór mór na turtair mhuirí. I measc na reiptílí mhuirí Chaenasócha eile bhí Bothremydidae,^[3] Palaeophiidae, cúpla Choristodera ar nós Simoedosaurus agus Dyrosauridae de chuid an ghrúpa Crocodylomorpha. D'fhan cineálacha éagsúla crogaill (.i. Gavialidae) forleathan chomh déanaí leis an Méicéineach Déanach.^[4]
