Water T-Rex Found in Arctic
The Monster
This 50-foot dinosaur was excavated last summer on Norway’s Arctic island. The Monster likely represents the biggest species of pliosaur known to science, said Jørn Hurum, of the Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway, who led the dig team—and who called the reptile “the T. rex of the ocean.”
Pilosaurs were the top marine predators, but unfortunately, not many fossils were found up until now.
Named the “the Monster,” this newly identified fossil predator is one of the largest marine reptiles ever found.
