Réptil marinho é descoberto e pode mudar tudo que sabemos sobre esses animais

Um novo réptil marinho blindado, extinto há 250 milhões de anos, foi descoberto na região onde atualmente é o sul da China.

O achado pode reescrever o que sabemos sobre esse grupo de animais.

O animal batizado de Prosaurosphargis yingzishanensis teve seu esqueleto parcialmente encontrado em 2019, na pedreira de Yingzishan, na província chinesa de Hubei,

Mas foi identificado como uma nova espécie apenas recentemente em uma pesquisa publicada na revista Evolutionary Biology.

Estima-se que essa nova espécie poderia atingir até 1 metro e meio de comprimento e provavelmente era um dos maiores répteis marinhos do ecossistema na época.

De acordo com Andrzej Wolniewiczs em resposta LiveScience, não se sabe ao certo se a nova descoberta é um ancestral direto desses animais ou se eles pertencem a uma nova linhagem.

Os pesquisadores esperam encontrar fósseis ainda mais antigos na região a fim de preencher as lacunas que faltam na história evolutiva dos répteis marinhos.
