150-Million-Year-Old Pliosaur Skull Discovered on England's Jurassic Coast

The complete and slightly distorted skull, considered a unique find, is believed to be part of a larger fossil still embedded in the rapidly eroding cliff.

A 6-foot-long skull of a 150 million-year-old pliosaur, a carnivorous marine reptile, has been discovered on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England.
The skull is considered unique due to its completeness, with every bone present and slightly distorted.
The discovery was made by local paleontologist Steve Etches and fossil enthusiast Phil Jacobs, who spotted a piece of the skull's snout that had fallen from the cliff onto the beach.
Etches believes the rest of the pliosaur's body is still in the cliff, but extraction would require significant work and funding due to the cliff's rapid erosion.
The skull will be displayed at the Etches Collection Museum of Jurassic Marine Life in Kimmeridge, Dorset, in January and will be featured in a BBC documentary presented by David Attenborough.
