Quote: DALLAS - Amateur fossil hunter Van Turner felt certain he had found something important during his search of earth turned up by bulldozers making way for a new subdivision in Dallas County.
Sixteen years later, scientists finally confirmed that Turner had discovered the first well preserved early mosasaur found in North America — a prehistoric lizard that lived 92 million years ago that evolved into what some call the “T. Rex of the ocean.”
Woot! It’s called “Dallasaurus turneri”.
Okay, I don’t have much personal interest except for the location, note category, but still… WOOT!
