Fossils reveal giant predator with 'toilet seat-shaped' head before dinosaurs
Scientists have discovered fossils of a giant salamander-like predator named Gaiasia jennyae, which lived approximately 280 million years ago, predating dinosaurs by 40 million years. The creature, found in the Gai-As rock formation in modern-day Namibia, had a wide, flat head and sharp fangs, and was larger than a person.
