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.
In Morocco, scientists uncovered Spicomellus afer, the world’s oldest armored dinosaur with meter-long spikes and the earliest known tail weapon. This bizarre discovery is rewriting what we know about dinosaur evolution.
Six macaque teeth, unearthed in Morocco, fill the gap in the species’ fossil record. Dated 2.5 million years, the fossils show great similarities with the current North African species.
