"Breakthrough: Australian Chicken Farmer's Fossil Mystery Finally Unraveled"

Scientists have identified a 240 million-year-old fossil discovered by an Australian chicken farmer as a stout amphibian resembling a cross between a crocodile and a giant salamander. The creature, named "Arenaerpeton supinatus," measured 1.2 meters in length and likely preyed on freshwater fish using its gnarly teeth and fang-like tusks. The fossil, which represents a key part of Australia's fossil heritage, has puzzled scientists for almost 30 years and was recently identified through X-ray scanning and analysis.
