Divers discovering Mayan crockery while exploring the underwater cave system
Exploring unexplored cave system beneath the jungle, Yucatan peninsula, Mexico - Nov 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/u6qe
Buried beneath the jungle in Mexico is an eerie subterranean world of submerged caves that remain virtually unexplored. Beneath the lush greenery of the Yucatan Peninsula the world's largest underwater cave systems exist. Over the past few years multi award-winning photographer and scientist Klaus Thymann has been braving these mystical blue depths to go to places that have never been visited by man before. Access to the water is through an extremely narrow, ten-meter deep shaft located in the middle of the jungle. Once through this unassuming shaft it opens up into a breathtaking cave of crystal clear turquoise waters and stunning natural formations. During his most recent expedition Klaus and his partner Alex Reato discovered fully intact Mayan crockery suggesting that they once collected fresh water from here.

9-year-old girl has newly discovered dinosaur species named after her after discovering fossil, Isle Wight - 19 Mar 2013

Newly Discovered Dinosaur Species Named After 9-Year-Old Girl
A newly-discovered dinosaur species has been named after the little girl who stumbled across its remains when she was just five years old.
Palaeontologists announced this week that fossilised remains found on a stretch of Isle of Wight beach in 2008 had been finally identified as a new species of flying dinosaur.
The remains were discovered by Daisy Morris, who, now aged nine, has amassed a collection of fossils and animal remains so extensive it led one expert to describe her bedroom as "resembling a natural history museum."
It was on a family walk along along Atherfield Beach on the south coast of the Isle of Wight that sharp-eyed Daisy spotted the remains and realised it was a fossil.
The family took it to dinosaur expert Martin Simpson, who recognised its potential importance.
For the past five years experts Darren Naish and Gareth Dyke have painstakingly studied the fossil, focusing on even the most smallest of details, before eventually publishing their findings this week.
They revealed the creature was roughly the size of a crow and was a previously unknown type of pterosaur.
The family has donated the remains to the Natural History Museum.
And when it came to naming the creature the experts looked to its young finder for inspiration, officially dubbing it Vectidraco Daisymorrisae.
A children's book has even been written about her as a result - called Daisy and the Wight Dragon - with the title based on the translation of Vectidraco or Dragon of the Wight.
Daisy says: "When I told my friends about it they said it was cool".
Daisy is well known for her unusual collection.
