135-Million-Year-Old Crocodile Found In Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - A bizarre marine crocodile that lived 135 million years ago in what is now Argentina had the head of a dinosaur and the tail of a fish, palaeontologists said on Thursday.
The finding, published in Thursday’s online issue of the journal Science, sheds new light on an animal that millions of years ago dominated Earth’s seas.
Scientists are calling the beast “Godzilla.” Its discovery will be highlighted in the December issue of National Geographic magazine.
The animal is “the most bizarre marine crocodile known to date,” said Diego Pol of The Ohio State University, a co-author of the study.
Alerted by a group of farmers who stumbled across several fragments, a team of palaeontologists led by Zulma Gasparini of Argentina’s La Plata University collected a skull and parts of a vertebrae of the animal in the Argentine province of Neuquen in 1996.
