Colossal “sea monster” Unearthed

They found a sea monster so big that a T-rex compared to it is like a kitten. The skull found in the U.K. that measured 2.4. The scientist say that the whole creature measure 16meters in length. The name of this creature is called Pliosaur. It lived 150 million years ago. The Dorset County Council bought it from the local collector that found it.
Pliosaurs were a type of plesiosaur that was a group of enormous aquatic reptiles. They had short necks, and their heads were similar to the ones crocodiles have. They had big sharp teeth. To swim they used four paddle like legs. They were fast to catch their food such prehistoric dolphins and even their specie. Had big and powerful muscles which made them really strong.
We think this is really important to the world we discovered a piece of our past. This clue can help us learn more about dinosaur’s time. We can have another theory of what happen to the dinosaurs. There might have been a tsunami that the plisaurs could survive, so they ate and killed all the dinosaurs, and then ate their specie.
