”In the
rocky gray shale of southern Utah, scientists have unearthed the remains of a
mosasaur that roamed a once-thriving sea 94 million years ago.”
This is according to scientist who rely on the Darwinian scale of things.
According
to them, it is the oldest mosasaur fossil ever found in North America.
Mosasaurs were marine reptiles who dominated the sea, during the Cretaceous period or 145 million to 66 million years ago.
