Fossils from prehistoric lake belonged to creature thought to have lived around 330m years ago
A stumpy-legged creature that was half a metre long and boasted a surprisingly long toe on each of its hind feet has been discovered by experts analysing fossils from a prehistoric lake in Scotland.
The creature is thought to have lived around 330m years ago – a time when what is now Scotland sat on the equator and featured not only a warm climate but a wealth of vegetation and even volcanic eruptions.
