Qianichthyosaurus is a kind of ichthyosaur. This piece is cleaned with Pneumatic pen, so the skull and body can appear more three-dimensional, and many parts can be preserved. This fossil has been cleaned very beautifully, and the bones are very distinct from the matrix. The size is about 39*35*1.5 cm. Qianichthyosaurus was a small ichthyosaur, with the type species Q. zhoui measuring 1.5–2 m (4.9–6.6 ft) long; Q. xingyiensis was smaller, measuring 1.3 m (4.3 ft) long. Both species had short, pointed snouts, small teeth, and hind flippers that were nearly as long as the front flippers. Between the two species, Q. xingyiensis had a longer snout. Qianichthyosaurus is most similar to Toretocnemus from the Carnian of California, United States. They share the expanded bottom end of their femora and their four-digited flippers with notches on both edges, but Qianichthyosaurus has longer front flippers and differently-shaped ischia. The two genera together form the family Toretocnemidae.
