Pliosaur discovery could be largest ever 🌊🐲 A team of fossil hunters, led by collector Steve Etches, has uncovered what is thought to be the most complete Jurassic pliosaur skull ever found. Embedded high up on a cliff in Dorset, UK, Etches and his collaborator Chris Moore spent weeks suspended on the cliff face, digging out the fossil before winching it to safety. “This is the pinnacle, really, of the things that I’ve been involved with,” Etches told New Scientist. “All I want from that is more information. The science is the thing that draws me in,” he says. “What does it show you? What does it tell you?” The skull will go on show to the public next year at the Etches Collection in Dorset, UK, and is the subject of a new BBC documentary with David Attenborough, called Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster, due to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 1 January 2024.
