• The name means " Mixed Lizard ", and was chosen because it appears to have been a transitional form between the eel-shaped Ichthyosaurs such as " Cymbospondylus " and the later dolphin-shaped ichthyosaurs, such as " Ichthyosaurus ".
• The fossil content of Boulby Quarry is particularly important with two plesiosaur species ( " Eretmosaurus macroptera " and " Thaumatosaurus zetlandicus " ), an ichthyosaur " Ichthyosaurus crassimonus " and the only Upper Lias pterosaur known in Britain, Parapsicephalus being found at the site.
• The type species was originally described and named as " Ichthyosaurus extremus " by Boulenger in 1904 . " Brachypterygius " was named by Bath, UK, but other specimens suggest it more likely came from the Kimmeridgian Kimmeridge Clay ( Late Jurassic ) of Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, UK.
• Both the original description by Maisch and the redescription of the English specimens found that " Hauffiopteryx " might be either a basalmost member of Eurhinosauria or a basalmost member of Thunnosauria ( which is an equivalent position to a basalmost member of Stenopterygiidae sensu Maisch [ 2008 ] with exclusion of " Ichthyosaurus " ).
• It was named by Ryosuke Motani in his 1999 analysis of the relationships of ichthyopterygian marine reptiles and was defined in phylogenetic terms as a stem-based taxon including " the last common ancestor of " Shastasaurus pacificus " and " Ichthyosaurus communis ", and all of its descendants . " The name honours John Campbell Merriam.
• It was so-named ( " near lizard " ) by William Conybeare and Henry De la Beche, to indicate that it was more like a normal reptile than " Ichthyosaurus ", which had been found in the same rock strata just a few years earlier . " Plesiosaurus " is the archetypical genus of Plesiosauria and the first to be described, hence lending its name to the order.
• His cartoon, also drawn in 1830, was entitled " Awful Changes " and depicted an ichthyosaur professor lecturing on a fossilised human skull : "'You will at once perceive'continued Professor Ichthyosaurus,'that the skull before us belonged to some of the lower order of animals; the teeth are very insignificant, the power of the jaws trifling, and altogether it seems wonderful how the creature could have procured food . '"

• The documentary was filmed at the Natural History Museum, London, and uses CGI imagery to bring to life several of the extinct animal skeletons in the museum, including " Archaeopteryx ", the Moa Ratite bird ( " Dinornis " ) and Haast's eagle ( " Harpagornis moorei "; lit . " grappling hook bird " ), " Gigantopithecus " ( presented as more human than ponginae ), " Glossotherium ", " Ichthyosaurus " and Dippy, a replica of a famous " Diplodocus " skeleton.
