TOP 10 Incredible Newest discovered Ancient Animals :
10. Nidelric Pugio :
A strange balloon-shaped animal defended by an “outer skeleton” armed with spines, this fossilized chancelloriid was unearthed in China. The 520-million-year-old fossil in the shape of a “squashed bird’s nest” has 9 centimeters in length.
9. Mysterious Lizards :
The former’s fossil is a mere outline: Its skin is intact, but its internal organs are “lost to time.” It was found in the fossil-rich Hukawng Valley of Myanmar.
8. Puentemys Mushaisaensis :
Curiously, a huge 60-million-year old South American turtle called Puentemys mushaisaensis had an almost perfectly round shell. Found in Colombia’s La Puente pit in the Cerrejon Coal Mine, and had a shell measuring 1.5 meters across.
7. Eusaurosphargis Dalsassoi :
The fossil was found in the Swiss Alps, which further negates the earlier view of the creature’s aquatic nature. The 20-centimeter-long fossil mode of locomotion and its coloration also indicate a terrestrial, rather than an aquatic, habitat.
6. Tokummia Katalepsis :
A rolled, semicircular shell on the back of a strange, segmented; and claw-like appendages at its rear make Tokummia katalepsis a bizarre-looking sea creature. The strange sea creature, Found in 2017, and lived half a billion years ago.
5. Chilesaurus Diegosuarezi :
Chilesaurus Diegosuarezi has features characteristic of a number other prehistoric creatures. The size of a horse, diegosuarezi was more plentiful than any other animal alive 145 million years ago. he was found in Southern Chile.
4. Xenokeryx Amidalae :
Xenokeryx amidalae lived 15 million years ago in Europe. The females of the species lacked horns and fangs, but the males had small horns above either eye. The size of deer, amidalae was a herbivore living in grasslands along rivers.
3. Pectinatella Magnifica :
Pectinatella magnifica, also called the magnificient bryozoan, is a brownish-gray, slime-filled hermaphrodite with a pineapple-like texture and an odd, brain-like shape. The species was recently found in Canada.
2. Predatory Whales :
New evidence provided by 3-D scans of digital simulations of fossilized baleen whale teeth suggests that in the past, these whales weren’t the gentle giants we know today. The ancient baleen whales had extremely sharp teeth with one function—cutting the flesh of their prey.
1. Tamisiocaris Borealis :
Tamisiocaris borealis, a 0.6-meter, 520-million-year-old prehistoric shrimp, had “bizarre feeding filters built into its face.” The Cambrian creature inhabited the waters off modern-day Greenland and ate in the manner of the modern blue whale.
