Rare fossil footprints of a lizard dating back 160–170 million years have been discovered in Morocco, marking only the third such find worldwide and the first in ancient Gondwana. Beyond its scientific significance, the discovery highlights Morocco’s rich fossil heritage and the need to better preserve and promote it.
Scientists have discovered a new giant species of mosasaur, Pluridens imelaki, that lived around 66 million years ago, based on fossils found in Morocco’s phosphate deposits in Khouribga. Measuring an estimated 9 meters long, the rare marine predator reveals that mosasaurs were more diverse and still evolving shortly before the mass extinction that ended the age of dinosaurs.
