Discover: Did giant sea lizard rule oceans 66M years ago?

Discover turned to University of Cincinnati paleontologist Takuya Konishi to explain the significance of a new species of mosasaur described by the University of Bath.

Konishi, who was not part of the discovery, is an expert in mosasaurs and other marine reptiles that terrorized oceans during the Cretaceous Period more than 65 million years ago.
