Ancient fossil uncovers snake from 85 million years ago
A team of researchers has discovered a rare fossil of a snake that lived approximately 85 million years ago during the Cretaceous period in southeastern Brazil. The study revealed that the snake, which was about 42 centimeters long, lived in an environment rich with creatures such as dinosaurs and birds. It spent most of its life in burrows and tunnels, similar to some modern snakes. This discovery, which preserves 60% of the skull and 70% of the spine, offers a unique opportunity to study the evolution of the central nervous system in ancient snakes and helps to understand their development over millions of years.
