Pliosaur Skull Found In Dorset

jayemcee writes "The skull of a sea-dwelling reptile that could eat a T. Rex for breakfast has been found in Dorset, UK and will be displayed in the local museum. Only the skull (2.4 meters long) has been found, and the authorities (who bought the item for close to $32,000) will not release the site for fear that the area is too unstable. They speculate that the remainder of the 'monster' may lie under tons of rock and will wait patiently for nature to deliver the goods via landslides and other forms of natural erosion. Experts believe it could rival recent finds made in Svalbard, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, where beasts dubbed 'the Monster' and 'Predator X' were thought to have measured 15m, and in Mexico, where the 'Monster of Aramberri' was discovered in 2002, and is believed to have been of similar dimensions."

    That there is a Jesus shark. They were lurking below whilst the Savior was walking the waves above. And they died out about a thousand years ago.
