"Moroccan Mine Yields Fossils of Nightmarish Sea Lizard with Demon's Face and Dagger-like Teeth"

Fossils of a new prehistoric marine lizard species, Kinjaria acuta, have been discovered in Morocco, with a skull and body size comparable to that of a contemporary orca. Estimated to have measured about 25 feet long, the creature is believed to have been an apex predator 66 million years ago, coexisting with dinosaurs. Its unusually-shaped skull and "demon's face" with teeth like knives make it a uniquely frightening breed of mosasaur, populating the eastern Atlantic Ocean near Morocco. The discovery suggests an unusually diverse marine fauna in the Late Cretaceous period.
