"Unearthing Texas' First Jurassic Sea Creature Fossil Unveils Exciting Possibilities"

Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin have discovered the first Jurassic fossils of an extinct marine reptile, a plesiosaur, in the Malone Mountains of West Texas. This finding fills a major gap in the state's fossil record, as previously only marine invertebrates were found from this time period. The discovery provides solid proof that Jurassic bones can be found in Texas and opens the door for further exploration and understanding of the region's prehistoric past.
