Monstrous Skull Fossil Found in UK!!!

A colossal fossilised skull of a 'sea monster', possibly the biggest of its kind ever found, has been discovered along Britain's Jurassic Coast.

The giant predator, called a pliosaur, dominated the seas at the same time as dinosaurs roamed the land, around 150 million years ago. The beast's skull is 2.4 metres long, and in total it could have measured 16 metres and weighed in at a staggering 12 tons. The fossil, which is 90% complete, shows a predator with a huge powerful jaw lined with razor-sharp teeth, similar to a crocodile's. Using four paddle-like limbs to glide through the water, pliosaurs would have dined on ichthyosaurs - giant reptiles which resembled modern-day dolphins.

Dr Martill said: "These creatures were monsters.

The pliosaur skull is the latest fossil to be discovered on the Jurassic Coast, Britain's only natural World Heritage Site, which runs along 95 miles of the Devon and Dorset coastline.

Mr Sheehan said: "In 40 years of collecting, I have often been green with envy at some of the finds other people have made.

"But now when someone shows me a find, I can say 'That's not a fossil, this pliosaur, that's a fossil'."
