Volunteers Uncover Ancient Amphibian Giant | Irvine News

Description

In Warsaw, Poland, scientists are unveiling a 240-million-year-old giant amphibian called Mastodonsaurus—already the largest ever found—thanks to 2,000 volunteers. No experts needed: tattoo artists, managers, and everyday folks are carefully chipping away at rock with UV lights and precision tools to reveal bones buried for eons. Weighing nearly 3,000 pounds, this pre-dinosaur predator’s discovery isn’t just about science—it’s a hands-on, awe-inspiring experience that connects people to Earth’s ancient past. And as climate fears mount, its survival after a mass extinction offers a powerful message: life always finds a way.
