Paleontologists are raving over a recent discovery of a well-preserved snake fossil from the Cretaceous Period, about 75 to 85 million years ago. The recent discovery of the snake fossil known as Tametara mirim is among the best-preserved snake skeletons in the world. The skull was the best-preserved portion of the entire fossil. Researchers at the University of Helsinki in Poland digitally reconstructed the fossil skeleton using high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scanning, which provided the skull anatomy. This includes the digital reconstruction of the snake’s brain, cranial nerves, and inner ear anatomy.
