Ichthyosaurs have been known about for over 100 years.

...a sea monster so large they say it could have eaten a Tyrannosaurus rex for breakfast.

What kind of Breakfast?. A continental breakfast, a farmers breakfast, what are we really talking here?

The fossil head is 8 feet long, suggesting that the beast measured up to 54 feet from the tip of its massive, crocodile-like snout to the end of its muscular tail, making it one of the largest specimens ever found.

I wonder how the Arc got away.

We want to see a photo of the skull, not a drawing of what an artist believes it looked like.

RE: Ichthyosaurs have been known about for over 100 years.

Oops! The beast is a "pliosaur". It apparently ate Ichthyosaurs for breakfast!


An artist's interpretation of the gigantic
pliosaur hunting ichthyosaurs, dolphin-
shaped marine reptiles.

Dinosaur experts in Dorset, England, are examining the fossilized skull of a sea monster so large they say it could have eaten a Tyrannosaurus rex for breakfast.

The fossil head is 8 feet long, suggesting that the beast measured up to 54 feet from the tip of its massive, crocodile-like snout to the end of its muscular tail, making it one of the largest specimens ever found.

The skull belongs to a pliosaur, one of a group of giant aquatic reptiles which roamed the warm seas over what is now southern Britain 150 million years ago.
