A new study of the Najash snake fossil skull has been published in Science Advances. In 2013, Fernando Garberoglio, along with some undergraduate students, discovered a near perfectly preserved Najash snake's skull specimens. Najash snake's preserved skull-skeleton has been estimated as 95 million years old with rear limbs. Najash Rionegrina is named 13 years before Fernando's fossil discovery, which counts only seven years.
Mr.Garberodigo and the team studied the evolution theory underlined in the unearthed snake's anatomy, which later evolved them limbless. Skull fossils were studied using micro-computed tomography scanning, an imaging technique to avoid fossil damages. Sectioning uniqueness from other snakes, Najash is not aquatic living but found in the terrestrial dunes of Kokorkom, Argentina.
Skull evolution founded that Scolecophidian snakes were the primitive ancient beings, and the new fossil evolution poses zero linkage to the Scolecophidian's ancestor. Meanwhile, long-lasting mysteries reveal that snakes are evolved from lizard ancestors. New fossil skull of Najash looks with sharp teeth, mobile skull joints and largemouths which are of typical modern snake periods still retaining lizards.
