"Discovery of New Aquatic Predator: Walhalla Dinosaur Fossil Unveils Ancient Species"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have discovered a new genus and species of mosasaur, an ancient aquatic lizard, in the Pembina Gorge north of Walhalla, North Dakota. The fossil, named Jormungandr walhallaensis, is estimated to be around 80 million years old and is considered an evolutionary link between the genuses Clidastes and Mosasaurus. The discovery fills gaps in scientists' understanding of mosasaur evolution and highlights the importance of reporting fossil findings to preserve and learn more about our past.
