"Truly gigantic" Jurassic sea monster discovered by chance in museum
Issue 178
|How It Works UK
The fossilised remains of a “truly gigantic” ancient sea monster have been discovered by chance in an English museum, revealing one of the largest carnivores to ever stalk the seas
The four bones are vertebrae from an unknown species of Jurassic predator called a pliosaur and show that the dagger-toothed creatures could grow almost 15 metres long – twice the size of an orca (Orcinus orca). The new finding drastically revises previous estimates for the scale of the prehistoric monsters.
