魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha的科學(xué)研究編年史是古生物學(xué)史上按時間順序排列的事件的列表，魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha是一種海生的蜥形綱物種類群，不少物種的外形類似于鯨下目/Cetacea、鯊形超目/Selachimorpha和旗魚目/Istiophoriformes。科學(xué)家至少在17世紀(jì)末就記載過魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha的物種化石，當(dāng)時一位名叫愛德華·拉維德/Edward Lhwyd的學(xué)者出版了一本有關(guān)英格蘭化石的書，該書將一些魚龍形下綱物種的椎骨錯誤鑒定為魚類化石；直到19世紀(jì)人們才開始了解到魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha物種的真面目。在1811年一個名叫約瑟夫·安寧·杰弗里/Joseph Anning Jeffrey的男孩發(fā)現(xiàn)了人類已知最早的魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha化石記載，這些化石在科學(xué)上也得到了公認，后來他的妹妹瑪麗·安寧/Mary Anning找到了骨骼的其余部分，并繼續(xù)成為受人尊敬的化石收藏家和古生物學(xué)家。

科學(xué)家對魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha的早期研究認為該物種類群是海洋蜥形綱物種，但對其解剖結(jié)構(gòu)和生態(tài)行為等主要知識未完全了解，人們經(jīng)常將它們描繪成經(jīng)常在海灘上曬日光浴的水陸兩棲動物，并且尾巴筆直。盡管人類已知最早找到的魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha化石標(biāo)本中可以看到魚龍屬/Ichthyosaurus的尾椎的末端向下彎曲，但學(xué)者們早期認為魚龍屬/Ichthyosaurus的尾椎的末端向下彎曲是因為尸體遭受破壞。事實上這種尾巴向下彎曲是魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha大多數(shù)物種常見的生前特征，以至于學(xué)者們最后意識到尾椎的末端向下彎曲是那些化石的自然正常的生前特征，尾椎骨上方并支撐著鯊魚狀的尾鰭。科學(xué)家們開始意識到魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha極度特化成純水生/Aquatic物種，甚至?xí)月烟ド?Ovoviviparity方式生產(chǎn)后代。魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha的產(chǎn)子證據(jù)可追溯到1846年，當(dāng)時查爾斯·皮爾斯/Chaning Pierce向理查德·歐文/Richard Owen爵士報告發(fā)現(xiàn)到魚龍屬/Ichthyosaurus的胚胎化石。

魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha的化石發(fā)現(xiàn)與其科學(xué)研究一直持續(xù)到20世紀(jì)。1928年西緬·穆勒/Simeon Muller在內(nèi)華達州發(fā)現(xiàn)了40只的巨型物種化石。但是直到1950年代中期，查爾斯·劉易斯·坎普/Charles Lewis Camp 和 加利福尼亞州大學(xué)伯克利分校/University of California, Berkeley的 塞繆爾·保羅·威爾斯/Samuel Paul Welles 為此目的進行探險之前，才發(fā)掘這些魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha物種的巨型化石遺骸，這些化石的發(fā)掘?qū)⑿枰嗄甑臅r間，而查爾斯·劉易斯·坎普/Charles Lewis Camp對這些骨骸化石的研究結(jié)果要到1975年去世后一年才公布。這些巨型魚龍被命名為秀尼龍屬·通俗種/Shonisaurus popularis，其后的該地點現(xiàn)在已被命名為貝林魚龍國家公園/Berlin–Ichthyosaur State Park。

20世紀(jì)晚期對魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha的研究有顯著的進展，包括新建一種物種屬，即真鼻龍屬·長嘴種/Eurhinosaurus longirostris，在此之前自1854年以來就被錯誤地歸類為魚龍屬/Ichthyosaurus里。1986年克里斯托弗·麥克高恩/Christopher McGowan用亞瑟王的神話般的劍來命名了另一種在英格蘭發(fā)現(xiàn)過外形很類似真鼻龍屬/Eurhinosaurus的物種，即王者之劍龍屬·克斯提種/Excalibosaurus costini。在1990年代末和21世紀(jì)初，關(guān)于整個魚龍形下綱/Ichthyosauromorpha該物種類群滅絕的原因，一直引起學(xué)術(shù)界的爭議性，例如有一種假說認為是來自于在森諾曼階/Cenomanian或其后時代的土侖階/Turonian新興演化出的默茲蜥超科（滄龍超科）/Mosasauroidea物種類群競爭。

2000
??? Ryosuke Motani published an article on ichthyosaurs in Scientific American that documented the discovery of Utatsusaurus.
??? Swiss watch maker Rolex honored Elizabeth Nicholls as a Rolex Laureate and bestowed on her a $100,000 stipend, covering much of the expenses generated by her field work.
??? Sander expressed doubt as to whether or not Omphalosaurus was really an ichthyosaur. He also cast doubt on the idea that the limb bones from Spitsbergen referred to the genus by Carl Wiman actually belonged to the same kind of animal as the jaws discovered by J. C. Merriam that served as its type specimen.
??? Maisch and Matzke erected the new genus Callawayia for the species Shastasaurus neoscapularis. They also erected the new genus Phantomosaurus.
??? Yin and others described the new genus and species Guizhouichthyosaurus tangae. They also described the species that would later come to be known as Shastasaurus liangae.
??? May: Nathalie Bardet and Marta Fernandez erected the new genus Aegirosaurus to house the species Ichthyosaurus leptospondylus. This was first new ichthyosaur to be described from the Solnhofen lithographic limestone in over 50 years prior to its naming. The type specimen preserved extensive soft tissue traces. Bardet and Fernandez reported the presence of tiny scales covering the animal. They disagreed with Martill, who claimed in 1995 that no evidence of a scaley covering existed in ichthyosaurs.

2000年
??? Ryosuke Motani 在《科學(xué)美國人》上發(fā)表了一篇關(guān)于魚龍的文章，記錄了 Utatsusaurus 的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
??? 瑞士手表制造商勞力士授予伊麗莎白·尼科爾斯勞力士桂冠，并授予她 10 萬美元的津貼，用于支付她實地工作產(chǎn)生的大部分費用。
??? Sander 對 Omphalosaurus 是否真的是魚龍表示懷疑。他也懷疑來自斯匹次卑爾根島的四肢骨實際上屬于同一種動物，與 JC Merriam 發(fā)現(xiàn)的頜骨作為其模式標(biāo)本。
??? Maisch 和 Matzke 為新肩胛沙斯塔龍（Shastasaurus neoscapularis）建立了新的 Callawayia 屬，他們還建立了新的幻影龍屬。
??? 尹等人描述了新屬和種貴州魚龍，他們還描述了后來被稱為Shastasaurus liangae的物種。
??? 5 月：Nathalie Bardet 和 Marta Fernandez 建立了新的 Aegirosaurus 屬來容納魚龍物種。這是在命名前 50 多年里從 Solnhofen 石刻石灰?guī)r中描述的第一個新魚龍。Bardet 和 Fernandez 報告了微小鱗片的存在他們不同意馬蒂爾的說法，馬蒂爾在 1995 年聲稱沒有證據(jù)表明魚龍存在鱗片覆蓋物

2001
??? Maisch and Matzke recognized the genus Phalarodon as diagnostic rather than dubious. They referred the species "Mixsaurus" major of the German Muschelkalk to that genus, and noted that this represented the first report of Phalarodon in that locality.
??? Nicholls and Manabe erected the new genus Metashastasaurus for the species Shastasaurus neoscapularis. However, since the genus Callawayia had already been named for this species by Maisch and Matzke it was never accepted as valid by the scientific community. Nicholls and Manabe also reported that since field work began in the Pardonet Formation of British Columbia's Pink Mountains, 65 ichthyosaur specimens had been recovered.
??? Orndorff and others interpreted the burial site of the famous ichthyosaurs of Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park as a deep ocean shelf rather than a shallow coastal area. They also proposed a new reinterpretation of the animal's deaths, suggesting that the deposit may represent a school of Shonisaurus that was paralyzed by neurotoxins in the fish or shellfish that they ate before sinking to their death. They compared their hypothesis to modern mass whale deaths off the coast of New England. However, this interpretation is considered doubtful as there is no evidence linking mass whale deaths with consumption of poisonous sealife.
??? Dino Frey and others reported the presence of ichthyosaur vertebrae in the collection of the Faculty of Geoscience in Linares, Mexico. They expressed interest in returning to Mexico to study the remains further and search for new finds.
??? Paleontologist Ben Kear collaborated with radiographer George Kourlis to perform a CT scan of Platypterigius. They found that its inner ear bones were so thick that they could not transmit sound vibrations and concluded animal must have been deaf. The scan also exposed the sensory structures inside its nose that allowed it to smell as well as an unusual system of "channels and grooves". The researchers found embryonic remains inside a Platypteriguis from Hughenden, Queensland, as well as the remains of the belemnites, fish, and turtle hatchlings it ate.
??? Arkhangelsky described the species that would later come to be known as Brachypterygius alekseevi.

2001年
??? Maisch 和 Matzke 認為 Phalarodon 屬具有診斷意義而非可疑。他們將德國 Muschelkalk 的主要物種“Mixsaurus”稱為該屬，并指出這是該地區(qū)首次報道 Phalarodon。
??? Nicholls 和 Manabe 為 Shastasaurus neoscapularis 物種建立了新的 Metashastasaurus 屬。然而，由于 Callawayia 屬已經(jīng)被 Maisch 和 Matzke 命名為這個物種，它從未被科學(xué)界接受為有效。工作開始于英國的 Pardonet Formation在哥倫比亞的粉紅山，已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了 65 個魚龍標(biāo)本。
??? Orndorff 等人將柏林魚龍州立公園著名魚龍的墓地解釋為深海陸架而不是淺海沿岸地區(qū)。他們將他們的假設(shè)與現(xiàn)代新英格蘭海岸附近的鯨魚大規(guī)模死亡進行了比較。然而，這種解釋是被認為是可疑的，因為沒有證據(jù)表明大量鯨魚死亡與食用有毒海洋生物有關(guān)。
??? Dino Frey 等人報告了墨西哥利納雷斯地球科學(xué)學(xué)院收藏的魚龍椎骨的存在，他們表示有興趣返回墨西哥進一步研究遺骸并尋找新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
??? 古生物學(xué)家 Ben Kear 與放射技師 George Kourlis 合作對 Platypterigius 進行 CT 掃描。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)它的內(nèi)耳骨非常厚，無法傳遞聲音振動，因此得出結(jié)論，動物一定是聾的。掃描還暴露了其內(nèi)部的感覺結(jié)構(gòu)。研究人員在昆士蘭州 Hughenden 的 Platypteriguis 體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)了胚胎殘骸，以及它吃過的箭石、魚和海龜幼龜?shù)臍埡　?br>??? Arkhangelsky 描述了后來被稱為 Brachypterygius alekseevi 的物種。

2002
??? Li and You described the new species Cymbospondylus asiaticus. The known remains of this species consisted of two skulls excavated from the Late Triassic Falang Formation of Guizhou Province, China. This was the first known example of the genus in Asia.
??? Perkins speculated that the channels and grooves uncovered by Kear and Kourlis in the skull of Platypterigius via CT scan formed an electrosensory system similar to those possessed by modern sharks.
??? Peter Doyle gave an interview to New Scientist magazine discussing acid-etched belemnite shells, that he believed originated as ichthyosaur vomit.
??? Ryosuke Motani compared the bodies and hydrodynamics of aquatic life with a "thunniform" body plan like dolphins, lamnid sharks, tunas, and the ichthyosaur Stenopterygius quadriscissus. He modeled the motions of a thunniform body and its interaction with the water finding that, contrary to the conclusions of previous research, the tail fin of a thunniform animal was evolved to enable cruising at large body sizes rather than for "propuslive efficiency". He hypothesized that the similar body plans shared between ichthyosaurs and tunas suggest similar high swimming speeds and metabolic rates.
??? Stuart Humphries and Graeme Ruxton published a study on the eyes of Ophthalmosaurus. They calculated its eyes to be two and half to four times as light sensitive as the modern elephant seal. Since elephant seals can themselves dive thousands of feet deep, the researchers concluded that increased light sensitivity in deep water was probably not the only evolutionary pressure behind the evolution of large eyes in Ophthalmosaurus. Its large eyes would have given it exceptionally clear vision as well, which would have been useful for tracking small prey and in possible social behavior.
??? Thegarten Lingham-Soliar argued against Nathalie Bardet's attribution of ichthyosaur extinction to the loss of their preferred food sources in the Cenomanian-Turonian extinction event expanded on his own 1999 attribution of ichthyosaur extinction to biotic factors. During the Cretaceous the evolution of many fish groups trended towards faster swimming body types, making them harder to hunt for adult ichthyosaurs and harder to escape from for newborn ichthyosaurs. This ecological scene favored ambush predators like plesiosaurs and the newly evolved mosasaurs over the ichthyosaurs, who succumbed to the competition.
??? Maisch and Lehmann described the new species Omphalosaurus peyeri.

2002
??? Li 和 You 描述了新種 Cymbospondylus asiaticus。該物種的已知遺骸包括從中國貴州省晚三疊世法朗組出土的兩個頭骨，這是亞洲第一個已知的該屬實例。
??? 珀金斯推測，Kear 和 Kourlis 通過 CT 掃描在側(cè)翼魚頭骨中發(fā)現(xiàn)的通道和凹槽形成了一個類似于現(xiàn)代鯊魚所擁有的電感應(yīng)系統(tǒng)。
??? 彼得·多伊爾（Peter Doyle）接受了《新科學(xué)家》雜志的采訪，討論了酸蝕的箭石貝殼，他認為這種貝殼起源于魚龍的嘔吐物。
??? Ryosuke Motani 將水生生物的身體和流體動力學(xué)與海豚、lamnid 鯊魚、金槍魚和魚龍 Stenopterygius quadriscissus 等“thunniform”身體計劃進行了比較。他模擬了 thunniform 身體的運動及其與水的相互作用，發(fā)現(xiàn)與他假設(shè)魚龍和金槍魚的相似身體結(jié)構(gòu)表明它們具有相似的高游泳速度和代謝率……
??? Stuart Humphries 和 Graeme Ruxton 發(fā)表了一項關(guān)于眼魚龍眼睛的研究。他們計算出它的眼睛對光的敏感度是現(xiàn)代象海豹的兩倍半到四倍。由于象海豹本身可以潛入數(shù)千英尺深，研究人員得出結(jié)論：它的大眼睛也會給它非常清晰的視覺，這對于追蹤小獵物和可能的社會行為很有用。它的大眼睛也會給它非常清晰的視覺，這對于追蹤小獵物很有用以及可能的社會行為。
??? Thegarten Lingham-Soliar 反對 Nathalie Bardet 將魚龍滅絕歸因于他們在 Cenomanian-Turonian 滅絕事件中失去首選食物來源的說法，并在他自己 1999 年將魚龍滅絕歸因于生物因素的基礎(chǔ)上進行了擴展。在白堊紀(jì)，許多魚類群體的進化趨勢這種生態(tài)場景有利于伏擊捕食者，如蛇頸龍和新進化的滄龍類，而不是魚龍類，后者在競爭中屈服。
??? Maisch 和 Lehmann 描述了新種 Omphalosaurus peyeri。

2003
??? Elizabeth Nicholls, Chen Wei, and Makato Manabe published an extensive description of a new, complete specimen of Qianichthyosaurus from Guizhou. They observed that it was very similar to the genus Toretocnemus from California and concluded that similar ichthyosaur faunas spanned the Pacific Ocean during the Late Triassic.
??? Maisch and Matzke described the new genus and species Quasianosteosaurus vikinghoegdai.

2003年
