A new species of mosasaur, named Jormungandr bolti, has been discovered in North Dakota, USA.
Jormungandr bolti was about 24 feet long and has been likened to a 'giant sea dragon'.
The discovery provides new insights into the evolution of mosasaurs and adds to the diversity of mosasaur species known to have existed during the Cretaceous period.
A new species of mosasaur, a type of marine lizard that lived during the Cretaceous period, has been discovered and named Jormungandr bolti. The discovery was made in North Dakota, USA, and the fossil was found on the side of the road. The new species is believed to have been about 24 feet long, making it a relatively small mosasaur. The creature has been likened to a 'giant sea dragon' due to its unique features, including a long, slender body and a head that resembles that of a dragon. The name Jormungandr is derived from Norse mythology, where Jormungandr is a sea serpent that encircles the world and is destined to end it during the apocalypse, known as Ragnarok. The species name 'bolti' is in honor of the late paleontologist Bruce Bolt, who made significant contributions to the field of paleontology.
The discovery of Jormungandr bolti provides new insights into the evolution of mosasaurs. The creature's unique features, including its long, slender body and dragon-like head, suggest that it may have been adapted for a different lifestyle compared to other mosasaurs. This discovery also adds to the diversity of mosasaur species known to have existed during the Cretaceous period. The fossil of Jormungandr bolti is well-preserved, providing researchers with valuable information about the creature's anatomy and lifestyle. The discovery of this new species underscores the importance of continued fossil hunting and research in understanding the history of life on Earth.
