Dean added: "It's taken more than half a century for this ichthyosaur to be studied and described, but it has been worth the wait. Not only has our study revealed exciting information about the internal anatomy of the skull of this animal, but our findings will aid other palaeontologists in exploring its evolutionary relationship with other ichthyosaurs."
U-Dean wanezela: "Kuthathe isikhathi esingaphezu kwengxenye yekhulu leminyaka ukuba lesi silwane, i-ichthyosaur sicwaningwe futhi sichazwe, kodwa siyabonga ukuthi salinda. Ucwaningo lwethu alugcinanga nje ngokuveza ulwazi olujabulisayo ngokwakheka kwangaphakathi kwekhanda lalesi silwane, kodwa esikutholile kuzosiza namanye ama- palaeontologist ekucingeni nasekufundeni ngobuhlobo obukhona bokuguquka kanye namanye ama- ichthyosaurs."
