TL;DR Summary

A fossil enthusiast discovered a two-meter-long pliosaur skull with 130 teeth in the cliffs of Dorset, England. The skull, believed to be 150 million years old, was found by Phil Jacobs on the beach at Kimmeridge Bay and was excavated with the help of fossil expert Steve Etches. The rare find, which will be featured in a David Attenborough documentary, is in remarkably good condition and is attracting scientists from around the world. The pliosaur, an apex predator of the Jurassic period, was larger and more ferocious than a T-Rex.
