Jurassic

Chilean scientists have announced the discovery of the first-ever southern hemisphere remains of a type of Jurassic-era "winged lizard" known as a pterosaur.

Fossils of the dinosaur which lived some 160 million years ago in what is today the Atacama desert, were unearthed in 2009.

Remains of a 150 million-year-old sea monster have been discovered in Poland. The massive reptile belongs to the Jurassic type plesiosaurs and is the first of its kind for Polish paleontologists.

The bones of a huge marine creature were discovered in a corn field in Krzyzanowice, close to the Swietokrzyskie Mountains.
