"College Student Unearths 200-Million-Year-Old Flying Reptile Fossil in Britain"
TL;DR
A University of Bristol student has discovered the fossil of a 200 million-year-old Kuehneosaurus, a flying reptile that used elongated rib bones to glide from tree to tree, in limestone quarries on what was once the Mendip Palaeo-island in Britain. The discovery also included teeth of a plant-eating Trilophosaurus and an aquatic lizard called Pachystropheus, shedding light on the diverse reptilian population of the area during the late Triassic period.
