The 150-million-year-old skull of a colossal pliosaur, nicknamed "Sea Rex," was discovered near the crumbling cliffs of Dorset's Jurassic Coast in England in 2022. The 6.5-foot-long (2m) specimen is roughly 95% intact, features 130 razor-sharp teeth, and is one of the best-preserved pliosaur fossils ever found.
