Proof they existed!
Sea monsters, that is…
British authorities say the fossilized skull of a giant sea monster has been found off England’s southern coast. The pliosaur was a ferocious predator that lived approximately 150 million years ago.
The skull was discovered in Dorset, England by a collector and measures 2.4 meters (8 feet) in length. Scientists believe the creature would’ve been approximately 52 feet long, with a short neck, crocodile-like head and powerful jaws with razor sharp teeth! It’s believed that they used paddle-like limbs to propel themselves through the water and they were generally carnivores.
I wouldn’t want to come face-to-face with one of these monsters! BUT, if you do, the skull will be on display in a Dorset museum (TBA).
