An international team of paleontologists, which includes the University of Bristol, have identified the world's oldest lizard, providing key insight into the evolution of modern lizards and snakes.

 

"This is the story of the re-discovery of a specimen and highlights the importance of preserving naturalistic specimens in well maintained, publicly accessible collections."

This is not the same as saying '"world's oldest reptile" is it? I thought I read somewhere that the oldest known reptile was from the Pennsylvanian. I guess it was not technically a lizard as I had assumed.
