"Newly Discovered Pliosaur Species with Enormous Skull Unearthed on UK's Jurassic Coast"

TL;DR
Fossil hunters have discovered what is believed to be the most complete Jurassic pliosaur skull ever found on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, UK. The fossil, which is likely a new species, features a large sagittal crest that may indicate sexual dimorphism and suggests the animal was a juvenile. CT scans reveal sensory pits connected to blood vessels and nerves, enhancing understanding of pliosaurs' hunting abilities. The skull will be displayed to the public next year and featured in a David Attenborough documentary.
