Fossils shed in China light on 'bizarre' reptile
Two fossils recently found at China have revealed
a new vegetarian reptile that used to live 242 million years ago beneath the
sea.
These fossils show a strange-shaped cranium, it
has an unusual shape never seen in a reptile. Basically, the skull suggests
that these aquatic animals used to eat vegetables. It has caused some
impression, since only a few marine reptiles, extinct or alive are known for
eating only vegetables.
