'Monster' fossil find in Arctic

Norwegian scientists have discovered a "treasure trove" of fossils belonging to giant sea reptiles that roamed the seas at the time of the dinosaurs.

This is really cool. The first complete skeleton of an pliosaur! Well, really, from what I understand there is not only one but many.

The 150-million-year-old fossils were uncovered on the Arctic island chain of Svalbard - about halfway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole.


You really need to read the whole story, it's cool. They seem to have been caught in the middle of a hunt with ichthyosaurs.


The ichthyosaursare dolphin type animal that was a usually on the dinner many of the pliosaur. Of course, there was a lot on the dinner plate of the pliosaur.



I am anticipating the outcome of the complete skeletons.
