The fossil, found in the Italian Alps in 1931, was believed to belong to the reptile group Protorosauria.

The revelation comes after researchers conducted a microscopic analysis of the fossil, revealing that the texture and composition of the material did not match genuine fossilized soft tissues.

Despite being celebrated and discussed in articles and books, the fossilized skin has never been thoroughly examined.
