Misleading fake-tailed fossil found to be largest sea dragon
A 200-million-year-old marine fossil discovered in the 1990s and often identified as a swimming dinosaur has now been described as the largest 'sea dragon' on record. Further, the sea dragon, which was pregnant at the time of death, was displayed in a Germany-based museum with a fake tail "to make it appear more complete and visually appealing," researchers said.
