A newly discovered plesiosa u r fossil suggests several species of the long-necked marine dinosaur roamed the oceans 180 million years ago. The nearly complete specimen of Plesiopterys wildi from ...
After a phylogenetic analysis, the researchers placed P. wildi as “an early-diverging plesiosauroid, closely related to Franconiasaurus brevispinus, suggesting a gradual evolutionary transition ...
An "exceptionally well-preserved" fossil may hold the key to understanding plesiosaur evolution. The newly discovered plesiosaur fossil, uncovered in Germany, suggests that long-necked marine ...
