The Great Desert in Africa was once the most dangerous place to be on the face of the earth, as it was a hotbed of gigantic flying reptiles, different types of dinosaurs, and crocodile-like hunters today, 100 million years ago.

Located along the Algerian-Moroccan border, what is known as the desert rock formation (Kamkm) is an excellently documented rock formation filled with fossil rock formations that bear records and traces of life forms that roamed the earth over tens of millions of years. In this place, paleontologists for decades Documenting the fossil remains of bony and cartilaginous fish, turtles, dinosaurs, and flying winged reptiles, as well as plants and other fossil remains.

Kumkum includes an unprecedentedly large number of large carnivores, and it well represents the diversity of North Africa better than any other rock formation on this continent. The team of paleontologists responsible for this study published the subject of our article today in the Journal of Zookys, and there they compared decades-long scientific expeditions and fossil records from the Kumkum region, and reviewed data sets for fossil records now in museums around the world.

The result was what they called (the most extensive research work on vertebrate fossils from the Sahara in nearly a century), which gives a more comprehensive look at the site and history that they believe to be the most dangerous on the face of the earth throughout history, during the Cretaceous period, the area surrounding Kumkum was once home to a wider river system, which in turn was home to different types of marine and terrestrial creatures.

Fossils indicate that at least three of the largest predatory dinosaurs ever documented lived there, including the eight-meter-long sword-toothed and similar species, along with flying pterodactyls, which are essentially Giant flying crocodiles, said the head of the research team, Nizar Ibrahim, who holds the position of assistant professor at the University of (Detroit) in a statement: (This is without a doubt the most dangerous place throughout the ages on the planet Earth, and it is a place where a person traveling through time could not survive long).

How terrifying were these huge and dangerous animals that roamed the region at that time in the history of the Earth; So were the animals that were feeding on them, which are huge and frightening fish, says the assistant professor in this study, Professor (David Martell) from the University of (Portsmouth): This place was undoubtedly full of huge fish, including hollow thorns. and lung fish.

The hollowfish, for example, was probably four or five times larger than the fish we know today. The large saw sharks known as Onchopristis also lived in this area, which were equipped with the ugliest and most terrifying teeth, which looked like serrated daggers, but were beautifully bright.
