An article published in the journal “Scientific Reports” reports the discovery of two new specimens of Eretmorhipis carrolldongi, a marine reptile that lived about 250 million years ago, in the Early Triassic period, in today’s China. A team of researchers studied these new specimens with particular interest because of the previous ones one had its skull but it was in a poor state of conservation and the other one had no skull. The new specimens show that this reptile had similarities with modern platypuses, with a sort of bill of cartilage and receptors that allowed it to hunt based on touch.
