Paleontologist Richard Forrest measured bone jaw bone of pliosaurs that found on southside beach in England, Dorchester on Tuesday (October 27, 2009). Local council said that skeleton fossil from sea giant monster found in that area. Pliosaurs is one of the wildest predator animals. This animal had been life approximately 150 million years ago. This skeleton found at Dorset by a collector. Fossil length reached 2.4 meter (8 feet). Scientist agree that body length of that animal can be reached 16 meter. Expert Richard Forrest said: "These animals were awesomely powerful. "A large pliosaurus would have been able to pick up a small car and bite it in half." David Martill, a paleontologist from the University of Portsmouth, says pliosaurs had short necks and huge, crocodile-like heads with powerful jaws and a set of razor-sharp teeth.
