"Rare 150-Million-Year-Old Sea Monster Skull Unearthed on UK's Jurassic Coast"

TL;DR Summary
The giant skull of a 150-million-year-old predatory marine reptile, possibly a new species, has been discovered along the Jurassic Coast in the UK. Fossil enthusiasts found the snout, leading to a retrieval mission to uncover the rest of the creature. The skull, measuring 2 meters in length, will be featured in a new documentary called "Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster." Pliosaurs, like this apex predator, were among the largest marine predators in history, using their enormous teeth to prey on creatures such as ichthyosaurs. The skull will eventually be displayed at the Etches Collection Museum in Dorset.
