Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India

PUBLISHED October 25, 2017

Bones that recently emerged from the dirt in northwest India belonged to a “sea monster” the size of a small boat prowled the deep, dark waters more than 150 million years ago.

The newfound fossil is a nearly intact skeleton of an ichthyosaur, a group of marine reptiles that terrorized the seas during the age of the dinosaurs. These animals were the dolphins or whales of their time: svelte fish-eaters with huge eyes, narrow jaws, and cone-shaped teeth.

I think we have just touched on the number of fossils yet to be discovered.

Lots more to be found yet, and it will be interesting indeed to know about these long extinct creatures.
