Fifteen hundred million years old.


This fossil was very interesting. We were told it was fifteen hundred million years old. This head is about six feet long. The whole fossil was about forty feet long. When it was found by some farmers, the farmers took one of the legs and the tail bones before the government stopped them. This is right where it was found about fifty years ago. They have built a museum around it. It is about ten minutes outside of Villa de Leyva. It had a head like a crocodile, but it always lived in water.
