Giant fossil of ancient sea monster discovered in Argentina.

A giant 70 million year old fossil of a fish that lived amongst dinosaurs has been discovered in Argentine Patagonia, a team of researchers said.

Argentine paleontologists “found the remains of a ргedаtoг fish that was more than six meters long,” the researchers said in a ѕtаtemeпt.

The discovery was published in the scientific journal Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology.

The fish “swam in the Patagonian seas at the end of the Cretaceous Period, when the temperature there was much more temperate than now,” the ѕtаtemeпt said.
