"Massive Prehistoric Sea Monster Skull Unearthed on England's 'Jurassic Coast'"

TL;DR Summary
The remarkably well-preserved skull of a gigantic pliosaur, a prehistoric sea monster, has been discovered on England's Jurassic Coast. The fossil, about 150 million years old, is almost 3 million years younger than any other pliosaur find and could potentially be a new species. The skull, measuring almost 2 meters long and weighing over half a metric ton, provides insights into the characteristics of these apex predators. The discovery and excavation process will be featured in the upcoming BBC documentary "Attenborough and the Jurassic Sea Monster," presented by Sir David Attenborough.
