Seymour, a secluded island in the Atlantic Ocean. An amazing fossil was discovered from a pile of ice deep in the island. For many years there was speculation about this fossil. Recently, scientists have revealed the mystery behind the speculation.
The first fossil was discovered by William Ginsmeister of Purdue University in the year 1989. Due to the bad condition of environment it takes many years to dig it completely. It is possible to rescue the fossil completely in the year 2017.
The fossil creature was 40 feet tall and 15 tons in weight and was about 70,000 years old.Fossil seekers first thought of this huge marine creature as the Loch Ness Monster.The existence of that organism has not been proven to this day.
Scientists say it is a marine reptile with four flippers. They are family members of reptiles called Elasmosaurid.
Researchers claim that the animal belongs to the Aristonaktas dynasty, which is slightly different from other Elasmosaurus because their throat is relatively long. It was considered the Loch Ness monster for this huge neck.
The elasmosaurus tribe of Elasmosaurus, the greatest reptile ever discovered before.This is the first discovered reptile fossils.Many parts of the body have been damaged due to water for many years.
Researchers also think that when the dinosaurs completely disappeared from the earth, the creature somehow saved itself.
Elassmasaur is the tribe of the Plesiosaurus. Their neck size is very much tall and its full height is 20 feet. These giant species lived in water and came up on the water to breathe.
According to scientists, the Elasmosaurus formed a new family with the Plesiosaur tribe, which created this marine organism in the Cretaceous period. Plesiosaur is the sea reptile which lived from 215 to 80 thousand years ago.
What exactly is this long-necked marine organism? There was a lot of speculation about it. Part of the scientists claim that they belong to the Nacei species. Someone else said they were Pliosaurs. It was even speculated as to whether or not they even belonged to the Elasmosaurid.
Researcher Josh Jarman, who has been associated with this research, told National Geographic, "It was impossible to know for many years that this newly discovered fossil was originally contained in Elasmosaurid, or there was another tribe of Plesiosaurus.
According to him, the long throat of this marine creature, the researchers generally agree that it is a plagiocoura.
