Fossils of Giant Marine Reptiles in the United States Reveals Mysteries of Evolution

Archaeologists found fossils of giant marine reptiles estimated to be 200 million years old in Nevada, United States.

Ichthyosaurs were large, extinct marine reptiles that dominated the oceans more than 200 million years ago.

Analysis of the skull of this particular ichthyosaur fossil has revealed a new species, Cymbospondylus youngorum.

It is part of a group of reptiles that returned to the sea during the Triassic Period, the beginning of the age of the dinosaurs and fully adapted to marine life.

The oceans of that period were very different from our modern oceans," explains Schmitz.

This fossil is an example of how fast evolution can produce diversity," said Schmitz.
