Breugnathair elgolensis, or the "false snake of Elgol," was discovered near the village of Elgol in Scotland.

Researchers have discovered a mysterious ancient lizard with snake-like teeth in Scotland. Breugnathair elgolensis is one of the oldest relatively complete lizard fossils and helps scientists better understand the origins of snakes in the Jurassic period.

The fossilized skeleton of a Jurassic reptile that appears to be part lizard, part snake, has been unearthed on Scotland's Isle of Skye.
