Researchers identify ichthyosaur that may be the largest known marine reptile
Palaeontologists have identified what may be the largest known marine reptile.
A father and daughter found the fossilised remains of a gigantic jawbone measuring more than two metres long on a beach in Somerset.
The bones belong to the jaws of a new species of enormous ichthyosaur, a type of prehistoric marine reptile.
Experts estimate that the giant creature would have been more than 25 metres long.
