Giant Pliosaur Unearthed in Dorset's Cliffs

The skull of a remarkably well-preserved pliosaur, a massive marine reptile that lived 150 million years ago, has been discovered on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Measuring 2 meters long and featuring 130 razor-sharp teeth, this fossil provides valuable insights into the anatomy and predatory behavior of these ancient creatures. The pliosaur, dubbed an "underwater T. Rex," was an apex predator that likely preyed on other marine reptiles, including its own kind. The discovery was made by local paleontologist Steve Etches, and the skull will be showcased in a David Attenborough program on New Year's Day.
