Every time the planet reinvents itself its inhabitants adapt and evolve. Explain how Ichthyosaurs evolved from land dwelling reptiles. How long did Ichthyosaurs rule the oceans?

Ichthyosaurs lived from Triassic to Middle Cretaceous approximately 250 million years ago until 110 million years ago

Explanation:

Ichthyosaurs evolved during the early Triassic period from land reptiles. This group was characterized by a spindle-shaped body, a shoulder girdle connected to a streamlined skull, two pairs of limbs, and digit-like bones. Moreover, Ichthyosaurs drew oxygen from the atmosphere (i.e., like marine mammals). Utatsusaurus is the oldest known Ichthyosaur species and it lived during the Lower Triassic. ln the same way to the land reptiles, Utatsusaurus had a pelvic girdle attached to the spine, and an equal length between the humerus and femur.
