- Description
-
The fossilised remains of a huge Pliosaur, one of the largest marine predators to live in the Jurassic sea.
The measured skull is 2.1 m long but fully assembled, it would be about 2.4 m and was recovered from a cliff fall over a period of about 5 years almost entirely by a single fossil collector. The beast was found near Weymouth in Dorset.
The bones are encrusted with oysters and tubeworms that colonised the skeleton as it lay on the sea floor.
This specimen will be studied, prepared and then displayed at the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester. This is just one of a number of specimens that are being purchased with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund under their Collecting Cultures programme. Match funding was provided by Dorset and Devon County Councils.
