S-016 — Ancient Snake Evolution, Cosmic Explosions and Hidden Forces — Saturday, April 25, 2026
The discovery of a 100 million-year-old snake fossil with hind legs is a remarkable find that sheds new light on the evolution of snakes. This fossil, found in Argentina, suggests that early snakes were large, wide-mouthed predators rather than tiny burrowers. The preservation of this fossil is remarkable, with even the snake’s cheekbone still intact. This find has significant implications for our understanding of snake evolution and behaviour. The study of fossils like this one can help us realise how different species have adapted to their environments over time. By examining the physical characteristics of ancient animals, we can gain a better understanding of how they lived and interacted with their surroundings. This, in turn, can provide valuable insights into the evolution of life on Earth. The colour and texture of the fossil can also provide clues about the environment in which the snake lived.
