Oldest fossil reptile from Italians alps partly forged, finds study

A recent study published in the journal Palaeontology reveals that the 280-million-year-old fossil Tridentinosaurus antiquus, previously believed to be a significant specimen for understanding the evolution of early reptiles, may have been partly forged, suggests a study. The fossil, found in the Italian Alps in 1931, was initially thought to belong to the reptile group Protorosauria.
