Fossil of new marine species from dinosaur age discovered
Scientists recently reported the discovery of a new predatory marine reptile species fossil, unearthed in Russia in 2002. The plesiosaurs species dubbed "Luskhan itilensis" were four-limbed aquatic animals that existed 135 million years ago. The animal's two-metre-long skull, enormous teeth, and powerful jaws made them the top predators of the oceans during the age of dinosaurs, scientists said.
