 Mitria rincids were a group of extinct marine reptiles that lived during the Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods. They had a long snout with sharp teeth and they were known for their ability to eat other animals. A new species has been discovered, Torvanus gerensis, which is characterized by its smooth cranium, a cute zippodont teeth and an enamel ornamentation consisting of multiple apico-basal ridges that shift into smaller ridges near the apex of the crown. This discovery helps us better understand the evolutionary trends within the genus Torvanus, providing new insight into the evolution of these ancient creatures. This article was authored by Leah C.
