Scientists have discovered the fossils of a new prehistoric species in Morocco mdash; a bizarre-looking marine lizard considerably larger than a great white shark, which, they say, dominated the seas while dinosaurs roamed the earth.The gargantuan creature, dubbed Kinjaria acuta, is estimated to have measured about 25 feet long, according to the scientists who studied its remains. Its unusually-shaped skull alone was about three feet from end to end, making both the skull and body size roughly comparable to that of a contemporary orca. Nick Longrich, a lecturer in evolutionary biology at the University of Bath who led the study, pointed outthat the largest known great white sharks in modern times are about 20 feet long. Khinjaria acuta was around the length of an orca. hoka wanderschuh air max Andrey Atuchin/University of Bath nike dunk low Longrich and his colleagues believe that the large species was likely an apex predator when it existed 66 million years ago, at the tail end of the Cretaceous Period.

The period culminated abruptly about 1 million years after Longrich s team say their Kinjaria acuta hunted the world s oceans, with the infamous mass extinction of the dinosaurs.In a blog post, Longrich descri Bapb Venezuela Tense Over Referendum
