Paleontologists in Morocco have discovered the fossilized remains of a huge, never-before-seen species of marine lizard with"dagger-like" teeth.
The"nightmarish" reptile was a member of the Mosasauridae family, also known as mosasaurs — an extinct group of marine lizards whose relatives today include Komodo dragons and anacondas, according to a statement from the University of Bath in England. "This was an incredibly dangerous time to be a fish, a sea turtle or even a marine reptile," lead study author Nick Longrich, a senior lecturer in the Department of Life Sciences and the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath, said in the statement.
