Dinosaur-age ‘nightmarish’ sea lizard fossil found
A fossil of a giant sea lizard that lived during the dinosaur age has been discovered in Antarctica. The creature, known as an ichthyosaur, was a predator that ruled the seas over 90 million years ago.
This particular specimen is believed to have been around 15 feet long and had sharp teeth that it used to hunt down its prey. Scientists are calling it a “nightmarish” creature due to its intimidating appearance.
The discovery of this fossil sheds light on the diversity of marine reptiles that existed during the Mesozoic era. It provides valuable information about the ecosystem of ancient oceans and how these creatures adapted to their environment.
Further research will be conducted to learn more about this fascinating sea lizard and its place in the history of prehistoric life.
