Using the wings' 'elbows' as feet. Smart. In which year were the first fossils of Plateosaurus discovered? 1880, 1834, 1860, 1873, 1886, 1842 or 1806? Pure bingo, but I choose 1842. |

Just heard a new mosasaur species has been discovered in North Africa. It's been named Khinjaria, meaning "Dagger". So far, all that's been found is a partial skull with lower jaws and an associated vertebra, possibly coming from the trunk region.  Artist's impression of Khinjaria chasing fish. |
