Saudi: TRSDC found fossils of 80m-year-old marine reptiles
A survey at the Red Sea area has unraveled some significant findings, with the initial excavation leading to the discovery of fossils of the giant Mosasaur — often called “The T-Rex of the Sea” — dating back more than 80 million years.
The project is considered to be one of the largest surveys in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Red Sea Development Co. and the exploration authority Saudi Geological Survey have discovered remains of marine reptiles during their 10-day initial digging, besides unearthing various samples spanning from the late Cretaceous to the Eocene period — roughly 80 to 45 million years ago, a press release stated.
