There is evidence that sea monsters really existed

During the Jurassic period, while the dinosaurs were considered to be the hegemony of the Earth, the undersea actually existed a dolphin-like predator.

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh, UK, concluded on September 5 after completing the study of an animal fossil found in 1966 in Scotland.

Scientists said that after the fossil was found 50 years ago, it was taken to a storage facility at a museum so there was no technique to separate the 170 million-year-old fossil skeleton from the site. out of prehistoric sedimentary rock layer. It was named Storr Lochs beast .

According to the researchers, the fossil skeleton belongs to a fish lizard reptile . This deep-sea assassin is 4m long, has a round body. The remarkable thing is that Storr Lochs has teeth with hundreds of sharp, erect teeth. This is Storr Lochs' effective hunting weapon and makes them much more frightening than Nessi - the mysterious Loch Ness Lake monster.

Scientists believe that Storr Lochs was completely extinct shortly before the dinosaurs completely disappeared and later replaced by dolphins and whales.

This is also the most complete fossil of a marine animal that scientists have discovered in Scotland. This new finding contributes to helping scientists step by step to uncover the mystery of the sudden existence and disappearance of this animal.

It is expected that Storr Lochs fossil skeletons will be on display at the Scottish Museum.
