It occurs in the laminated, relatively deep-water portions of sedimentary cycles controlled by orbital forcing of climate. Hypuronector has uniquely elongated chevrons that give the tail a fin- or featherlike shape. Hypuronector was a member of the diapsid family Drepanosauridae, along with Drepanosaurus, Megalancosauras, Dolabrosaurus, and an undescribed form. The tail of Hypuronector was probably used for swimming, although the proportionally long legs suggest that this reptile at least occasionally moved about on land.7826441 bytesapplication/pdfen-USQL1 .A436 no.3334, 2001Hypuronector limnaios.Reptiles, Fossil -- New Jersey.Paleontology -- Triassic -- New Jersey.Paleontology -- New Jersey.Paleontology -- Newark Basin.A new and unusual aquatic reptile from the Lockatong Formation of New Jersey (late Triassic, Newark Supergroup).
