Giant sea serpent found emerging from Dorset cliffs

A massive sea monster skull has been discovered in Dorset's Jurassic Coast. The skull, belonging to a pliosaur, has provided new insights into this ancient predator. Measuring 2 meters long, the fossil is one of the most complete specimens of its kind ever found. The discovery will be featured in a special program hosted by David Attenborough on BBC One. The pliosaur skull is exceptionally well-preserved and larger than most humans. With 130 teeth, the creature was a formidable predator, capable of killing with a single bite. The pliosaur, measuring 10-12 meters in length, was the ultimate killing machine and likely preyed on other reptiles such as the plesiosaur and ichthyosaur. Recovering the skull was a challenging process, involving abseiling down a cliff face. Despite the difficulties, the months spent cleaning and examining the skull have been worth it, as scientists from around the world will now have the opportunity to study this fascinating fossil. The skull has already provided information about the pliosaur's bite force and sensory capabilities. The discovery is an important one as the cliff where the fossil was found is rapidly eroding, and the rest of the pliosaur could soon be lost forever. The skull will be displayed at a museum in Kimmeridge next year.
