'Monster' Fossil Find in Arctic
This arcticle is interesting because of two certain discoveries found on the Arctic island chain of Svalbard. These fossils are said to be around 150 million years old. The piece said the two different finds belong to two groups of extinct marine reptiles. One, as some of us have heard as an old wives tale, was nicknamed The Monster because of its giant size. It was never really believed to be true from all the stories telling of sights where they have seen this snake like animal in the waters of lakes and oceans. Palaeontologist's have widely known uncovered numerous groups of ancient fossils, and most of them didnt contain the full skeletal structure that it once was. But these were found with all of the bones, which was the first time in history.
I have read many stories of people from all over the world who have sighted The Monster, or of something with a long kneck and a take sticking out of the water. Now that I know that the fossils were found, these stories may not be as bogus as they sounded. The other mythical creature was nicknamed the Loch Ness monster, which came in two varieties, one with a long kneck and small head, and the other with a larger head and a short neck. It's always remarkable to discover something new, something that NO ONE else in the entire world has ever laid eyes on except for ones self . I couldn't imagine the rush of feelings during the experience.
After reading this article, its amazing to actually think deeply about how the world has majorly developed over a long period of time. Dinosaurs, apes, cave men and so on. One of the skeletons that was discovered was said to have been in some kind of fight with another animal. It had a very large tooth that was in the area of the vertebra. What an outstanding discovery. And it makes me really wonder about what else there might be out there in the deep seas of the ocean or under the earth that hasnt been found or touched in millions of years.
