Descripción

Today we're gonna travel back in time - to the Triassic and Jurassic era. The area we're focusing on became Nevada in the Western part of the United States. What's so special about it? Well, it turns out to be home to giant sea dragon-type monsters... A huge fossil was discovered in the Augusta Mountains of Nevada and it could provide insight into how modern whales developed. The fossil belongs to "ichthyosaurs" which was a type of large aquatic reptile. It currently holds the title of the first giant animal to ever inhabit Earth. The creature weighted 45 tons!
