Colossal Pliosaur Sea Monster Skull Goes on Display

The skull of a colossal sea monster that was unearthed from the Jurassic Coast in the UK is going on display.

The 2m-long fossil belongs to a pliosaur - one of the most fearsome predators the planet has ever seen.


Sir David Attenborough investigated the discovery in a BBC film which aired on New Year's Day.


The public can see the 150-million-year-old marine reptile at the Etches Collection in Kimmeridge in Dorset, close to where the beast was found.
