The BBC News today is reporting about the largest, ever, sea monster fossil. It appears to be a 50ft long massive pliosaur.
The 150 million-year-old specimen was found on Spitspergen, in the Arctic island chain of Svalbard, in 2006.
The Jurassic-era leviathan is one of 40 sea reptiles from a fossil "treasure trove" uncovered on the island.
Nicknamed "The Monster", the immense creature would have measured 15m (50ft) from nose to tail.
Imagine if it was one of these that was living in Loch Ness.
shout out to my big brother for sending this to me.

Wow, one of those would really kill both the salmon and fisherman populations in a hurry, huh?
