Paleontologists Discover 'Microsaur' From 308 Million Years Old Fossil

Paleontologists discovered microsaur from the 308 million years old fossil. They look like small, lizard-like animals belonging to the Carboniferous period. According to Arjan Mann, a Ph.D. holder at Smithsonian Institution said that microsaur has shown to be an important creature in understanding the origin of amniotes. He further added, “a lot of these microsaurs have been thought to be either ancestors of amphibians or ancestors of reptiles".
