Scientists have discovered a new species of Mosasaur, a carnivorous aquatic lizard that lived during the late Cretaceous period. The new species is named after a sea serpent in Norse mythology and the small North Dakota city of Walhalla, where the fossil was found. The discovery sheds light on the evolution of Mosasaurs and their role in the late Cretaceous ecosystem. Additionally, researchers have found evidence that dust from an asteroid impact played a significant role in the extinction of dinosaurs.
