150 Years ago a ferocious predator lived in the water: pliosaur, which was terrorizing the sea. In 2010 a fossil of 2.4 m-long was found. The innermost secrets of this big sea monster are being revealed by CT scanners. These scanners shows the whole world how powerful the pliosaur was. Incredible and unbelievabe are the teeth, these are so strong it could have bitten a car in half, also the habits as hunting and attacking can be researched by the fossil which is found. After the scientific analysis is complete and the fossil is fully prepared and mounted you can go and see it by yourself in summer 2011 in the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester. There will also be a massive, life-sized model of the head so that you can count the teeth: will you ever swim in the sea again????
Opinion about the article:
One of the biggest sea monsters ever in my opinion has been found. When I saw this scary picture I thought no way I will ever swim in the sea again. It is fascinating to read about a monster who ate animals, such as turtles, and hunted for everything that moves. I hardly cannot imaging that there has been no fear to others for this animal, it has no enemies but himself. This article is a miracle for scientists and sea lovers. I think it is good to know how the world changes and how animals changes, it is very interesting. Also the way to find out more about this pliosaur: just a CT scan and some X-rays, it is amazing. Scientists have a computer program to show what this animal looked like and what the habits must have been.
