"240-Million-Year-Old 'Chinese Dragon' Fossil Unveiled by Scientists"

Paleontologists have discovered a 240-million-year-old "dragon" fossil in China, which is about 16 feet long and believed to be adapted to the ocean. The reptile, named Dinocephalosaurus, has a long neck with 32 separate vertebrae, longer than its body and tail combined, and is thought to have played a key role in feeding. The international team of researchers hopes that further study of this remarkable find will shed light on the evolution of this group of animals.
