TL;DR Summary

The skull of a massive pliosaur, an ancient marine reptile, has been discovered on the UK's Jurassic Coast. Measuring 2 meters long, the fossil is one of the most complete specimens of its kind ever found. The pliosaur was an apex predator with long, razor-sharp teeth capable of delivering deadly bites. The skull, which still has dozens of teeth intact, offers valuable insights into the behavior and physiology of this ferocious predator. Paleontologists believe that more parts of the creature may be found in the cliffs of Dorset, and efforts are being made to extract them before they are lost to erosion.
