Eurycleidus is an extinct genus of large-bodied rhomaleosaurid known from the Early Jurassic period (most likely earliest Hettangian stage) of the United Kingdom. It contains a single species, E. arcuatus. Like other plesiosaurs, Eurycleidus probably lived on a diet of fish, using its sharp needle-like teeth to catch prey. Its shoulder bones were fairly large, indicating a powerful forward stroke for fast swimming.

- Eurycleidus es un género extinto de pliosauroideo romaleosáurido que vivió en el período Jurásico Inferior (muy probablemente a principios del Hettangiense) en el Reino Unido. Abarca a una sola especie, E. arcuatus. Como otros plesiosaurios, Eurycleidus probablemente vivía a base de una dieta de peces, que capturaba con sus dientes como agujas. Sus huesos de los hombros era bastante grandes, indicando que podía dar poderosas brazadas para nadar rápidamente. (es)

- 寬鎖龍屬(學名:Eurycleidus)是種已滅絕海生爬行動物,是蛇頸龍目上龍亞目的一屬,生存於侏羅紀早期(可能是赫唐階)的英國。 如同其他上龍類,寬鎖龍的身體寬廣、頭部大,嘴部佈滿銳利的針狀牙齒,牠們可能以魚類為食。寬鎖龍的胸帶骨頭相當大,顯示牠們的前肢可以使出相當大的力氣,適合快速游泳。 (zh)
