Fossil 'Suggests Plesiosaurs Did Not Lay Eggs'

Posted by timothy on from the fossil-ventriloquism dept.

thebchuckster writes "Scientists say they have found the first evidence that giant sea reptiles — which lived at the same time as dinosaurs — gave birth to live young rather than laying eggs. They say a 78 million-year-old fossil of a pregnant plesiosaur suggests they gave birth to single, large young."
