Leviathan:
The skull of a much older monster has recently made news across the sea in southwestern England. The pliosaur was a sea-dwelling creature so magnificently huge, it could have gobbled up a T-Rex for breakfast and sunk a wooden ship with a nicely placed slap. The eight-foot-long skull of one of these massive creatures was uncovered in Dorset and for four years has been painstakingly uncovered according to The Times. If the rest of the body is buried in the same cliff, experts estimate its full length would have been approximately 54 feet. The pliosaur's huge, razor-toothed jaws would have been a fearful thing to meet in the middle of the wide ocean, and the creature brings to mind ancient stories of sea monsters like Leviathan and the kraken.

"They had massive big muscles on their necks, and you would have imagined that they would bite into the animal and get a good grip, and then with these massive neck muscles they probably would have thrashed the animals around and torn chunks off," said David Martill, a paleontologist from the University of Portsmouth. "It would have been a bit of a blood bath."

Plesiosaur expert Richard Forrest told the BBC, "What is fantastic about this new skull, not only is it absolutely enormous, but it is pretty much in 3D and not much distorted."

The Dorset County Museum has purchased the skull for £20,000 and plans to clean it up and put it on display in about half a year.
