Ancient Sea Monster Found
Researchers discovered remains of a 150-million-year-old plesiosaur in Antarctica. It is the oldest creature ever to be found on the continent. With four fins and a long neck, many say the Jurassic-period monster looks like the fabled Loch Ness Monster. The remains of previous plesiosaurs show the animals could have been nearly 12 meters from nose to tail. They would have swum off the coast off the Gondwana supercontinent. It encompassed modern-day Madagascar, India, New Zealand, Australia, parts of Africa and South America.
The discovery site is a two-hour helicopter ride from Argentina's Marambio Base to the tip of Antarctica. Soledad Cavalli, a paleontologist at Argentina's National Scientific and Technical Research Council, called the discovery "pretty extraordinary". Researchers are set to continue their research in the area throughout January during the southern hemisphere's summer.
