A giant 180 million-year-old sea dragon fossil has been discovered by scientists in the UK reservoir. The rare fossil is the largest and most complete Ichthyosaur fossil ever found in the United Kingdom. The massive fossil was spotted by a couple of conservation team workers.
In between routine maintenance on a U.K. reservoir, a very rare 180 million-year-old sea dragon fossil was discovered by the scientists. The long Ichthyosaur fossil was found during a routine draining of a lagoon at the Rutland Water Nature Reserve. Ichthyosaurs, whose name means “fish lizard,” are distant relatives of lizards and snakes, and were not considered dinosaurs. The fossil is believed to be the biggest and most complete skeleton found to date and was found out by Joe Davis.
