An Adult Sauropod, an Unknown Juvenile, and a Barely-Known Ichthyosaur Fossils Found

100-million-year-old fossils have been found in the Indian state of Meghalaya and are believed to have belonged to sauropod dinosaurs. Researchers from the Geological Survey of India’s (GSI) Palaeontology division found the bones in the West Khasi Hills District. The experts are confident that the fossils belonged to sauropod dinosaurs with a Titanosaurian origin. If they are correct, this would be first proof that these types of dinosaurs inhabited that area and the fifth Indian state to have found evidence of sauropod bones with a Titanosaurian origin. Sauropods have smaller heads, long necks, long tails, and big pillar-like legs.

Scientists Uncover More Secrets of Elusive Extinct Marine Reptile

New technology has allowed paleontologists to identify five more fossils of the rare Besanosaurus hidden right in their own museums. The skull of the type specimen of Besanosaurus leptorhynchus is characterized by extreme longirostry (i.e., thin elongate snout), and equipped with tiny pointed teeth, perfect for catching small fish and extinct cousins of squids with rapid snapping moves of the head and jaws.

Middle Triassic ichthyosaurs are rare, and mostly small in size. The new Besanosaurus specimens described in the peer-reviewed journal PeerJ - the Journal of Life and Environmental Sciences - by Italian, Swiss, Dutch and Polish paleontologists provide new information on the anatomy of this fish-like ancient reptile, revealing its diet and exceptionally large adult size: up to 8 meters, a real record among all marine predators of this geological epoch. In fact,
