Discovered within a 100-million-year-old river system in a portion of the Sahara Desert located in modern-day Morocco, researchers with the University of Bath have announced the surprise discovery of fossils belonging to plesiosaurs, an ancient variety of long-necked aquatic reptiles.
The discovery appears to lend weight to the idea that this small variety of plesiosaur, once thought to have been exclusively marine reptiles, might have thrived in freshwater areas as well.
