The Albuskronix (albino master) was a short-necked genus of pliosaur, believed to be among the smartest marine reptiles to have ever lived. With remains being found with heights up to 17.1 meters (56 ft), Albuskronix was among the biggest pliosaurs, and an estimation of it's prime it believed to be along the oceans of Europe, since all it's fossils were discovered there by George Macron during the French Revolutionary Wars. Years later, it was believed to be a Kronosaurus, but thanks to studied by Harleen Lukas, it was proven to be false, and she estimated it to be an albino dinosaur, while others believed of it to be an animal with darker colors. Non the less, Dr. Lukas named it the "Albussaurus".
In 1900, fossils of the pliosaur were found in caves with additional bones of other smaller creatures that were trapped in cage-like dripstone, which lead to the estimation that the pliosaur was an animal with a developed understanding of imprisonment, and used it as a hunting mechanism. It was later renamed to "Albuskronix" in 1912. Since 1923, people have been requesting a name change for the dinosaur because they believe it's patterns were of darker color, but was rejected time-and-time again because there was not any evidence to back the claims up.
Research history[]
Discovery and identification[]
An Albuskronix skull, which can be found in the Persian Natural History Museum.
The first Albuskronix fossil known to science was discovered in 1790 in deep oceans surrounding most of Europe, but when skulls were found, the pliosaur was identified as a Kronosaurus, and later a very large crocodilian. Later around 1881, Harleen Lukas had completed three sets of the pliosaur, and has proven that it was not a Kronosaurus, nor a crocodilian, but something new. As she estimated the pliosaur to have been purely of white color, she named the pliosaur Albussaurus. This caught the attention of multiple historians, which argued that the pliosaur probably had darker colors and dotted patterns, as well as scaly skin. Dr. Lukas didn't agree with the statement, and had an (estimated) 4 hour long discussion with 60 historians and paleontologists, to why the pliosaur was probably albino. 32 gave in and agreed, but others were not convinced, and called all the others frauds for believing her.
At the anniversary celebration of the pliosaur in 1990, 200 years since it's discovery, another trip as set out to discover even more fossils of the "Albussaurus". After venturing into caves of dripstone, they found multiple fossils and exoskeletons of other creatures in cage-like dripstone, with the pliosaur having a throne-like cave of it's own. After multiple studied, it has been determined, other rather estimated, that the pliosaur had an advanced brain and knew how imprisonment worked, and used it to it's advantaged to capture and then eat other prey. It was then promtly named Albuskronix.
However, people wanted a name change since they thought the pliosaur had darker colors and patterns, but, it was denied since there was no evidence suggesting it wasn't albino, and nothing has changed since.
Predators and Prey[]
[]
Like any animal, Albuskronix had predators and prey, it's part of the Biological life cycle and without it, earth would be of monstrosity. While the pliosaur didn't have any definative enemies, it's likely that it had butted heads with Mosasaurus, as bone fractures relating to Mosasaurus has been found on an Albuskronix. As mentioned before, Albuskronix had likely imprisoned smaller creatures then feasted upon them.
Behavior[]
While having no relation, Albuskronix shares similarities with Spiders, and their usage of webs.
While having no relation to one another, Albuskornix had (estimated) to have been like spiders, and has captured their prey and feasted upon them using cage/cell-like components, with spiders using webs and Albuskronix using dripstone. Albuskronix was likely very patient, as it likely took along time for any prey to go into it's cave, but studies suggest that it was also a hunter, having hunted Ichthyosaurs, as suggested by bone fragments.
