First Jurassic-era 'fish lizard' fossil found in India

University of Delhi researchers have announced the discovery of a near-complete fossil of a Jurassic-era Ichthyosaur, a sea-dwelling reptile known as the "fish lizard", from Gujarat's Kutch district. The 5.5-metre-long fossil, initially thought to be from a dinosaur, is likely 90-165 million years old and is the first Jurassic Ichthyosaur record from India, said lead author Guntupalli Prasad.
