University of Alabama paleontologists recovered the fossilized remains of an 80-million-year-old water reptile, pictured above, from a Greene County site. This mosasaur, known as a Clidastes, was discovered in early June near the Tombigbee River and is one of the most complete dinosaur-age fossils ever recovered in the eastern U.S., said Dr. Ed Hooks, curator of vertebrate paleontology at UA’s Alabama Museum of Natural History.
