the Department of Mineral Resources announced the discovery of "Garudapterus buffetauti," a new species of pterosaur in the world and the first to be found in Thailand, from the Phra Prang fossil site in Sa Kaeo Province. The most important fossil is the "tip of the upper jaw" from the Sao Khua Formation, approximately 130 million years old.
