Giant Cretaceous kraken discovered

Paleontologists have uncovered evidence of a massive, 19-meter-long ancient octopus, dubbed a 'kraken,' that likely dominated Cretaceous oceans. Researchers utilized a novel AI-powered technique called Digital Fossil Mining, which involved digitally shaving away rock layers and analyzing the data to identify fossilized jaws. These ancient cephalopods possessed powerful beaks and are now considered apex predators, challenging previous assumptions about the marine food web being solely dominated by vertebrates. The discovery sheds new light on prehistoric marine ecosystems and the evolutionary capabilities of invertebrates.
