Matthew Stevens+FollowSea Monster Mystery Finally Solved!Remember that famous long-necked sea monster fossil from Vancouver Island? Turns out, it’s not just any elasmosaur—it’s a brand new species called Traskasaura sandrae! This 12-meter beast had super-strong teeth perfect for crushing ammonites and a neck with at least 50 bones. Scientists say it hunted by diving down on its prey, which is pretty wild. After decades of mystery (and even becoming BC’s official fossil), we finally know what this prehistoric weirdo really was! #FossilFind #Paleontology #SeaMonster #Science413Share

This isn’t your average fossil find; it’s the biggest mosasaur piece ever discovered in the area. Picture jaws dropping as they realized what they’d found. These beasts could grow up to 50 feet and had 60 razor-sharp teeth. Mississippi just got a little wilder! #FossilFind #SeaMonster #Mosasaurs #Paleontology #Mississippi #Science70Share
