The discovery, which took place in the province of Napo (Ecuador), opens a unique window into the past: it provides insight into the rich biodiversity of a dense, humid tropical forest in the southern hemisphere some 112 million years ago, when the modern continents broke away from the supercontinent Gondwana and large reptiles dominated the terrestrial ecosystems.
