Did you know there is an extremely big fossil in Villa de Leyva, Colombia?
Read the following magazine article about this Colombian beautiful town.
Then, answer questions 1 to 11.
Another important fossil found in Villa de Leyva is The Ichthyosaur; it was part of the
giant group of fish that inhabited this area around 115 million years ago.
Kronosaurus
The Kronosaurus was a marine reptile that lived around 115 million years ago; it had
a long head, a short neck, four flippers that worked as its hands and legs to move
through water, and a relatively short tail. The Kronosaurus was carnivorous, which
means that it used to eat meat, which is probably why it had many long teeth. It is
estimated that the Kronosaurus was around 9 to 10 meters long. A person from
Moniquirs rural area, a town close to Villa de Leyva, found an enormous rock on the
land of his farm, which he later recognized as a possible fossil. After that, archeologists
excavated the area and discovered a complete Kronosaurus skeleton, one of the best
preserved fossils in Colombia. Thus, Oliver Hampe, a German paleontologist, described
this specimen in 1992 as a second species called K. boyacensis. The people of Villa de
Leyva built a museum called El Fsil, the word for Fossil in Spanish, around the area
where the skeleton was excavated, and where the skeleton of the K. boyacensis is
preserved. It is very important because it is one of the biggest fossils of this species, so
this museum is one of the most visited places in Villa de Leyva.
