Scientists originally believed a fossil found in 2015 to be the missing 'four-legged snake.' Now, a new study says that the fossil isn’t a snake at all.
A paper originally published in July of 2015 detailed a fossil that researchers believed to be a snake with four legs. At the time, the fossil received worldwide recognition for the part that it could possibly play in evolution. However, in 2016, claims that the fossil might not be a snake at all began to surface. Though some years have passed, an in-depth look has instead found it to be an Early Cretaceous dolichosaurid lizard.
