150-Million-Year-Old Giant Sea Monster Found In Dorset Cliff

- A 150-million-year-old snout belonging to a predatory marine reptile was found by a fossil enthusiast while walking along England's famous Jurassic Coast. The chance discovery led to a retrieval mission of epic proportions as fossil experts scaled down a nearby cliff face in search of the rest of it. It wasn’t easy, but it paid off, and the resulting monstrous skull - believed to belong to a new-to-science species - is the star of a new documentary from the BBC called Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster.
“We put a drone up, then scanned all the way along the cliff and found what looked to be the rest of it sticking out of the cliff, but we needed to confirm that and that meant a trip down the cliff on ropes to actually go down and see it,” fossil expert Steve Etches MBE told IFLScience as he showed us the massive, impressive skull.

Usually, I find these documentaries a tad dry. You did a fantastic job keeping me focused without taking an hour and a half to explain. Thank you!
Well it helps when the camera keeps focusing on the jaws with all those big teeth! Glad it’s not around right now.
One of my better finds from the beach. Well done Steve, Chris and all the team. That August when you were excavating was so hot. Comparing it now with when it first arrived at the museum just shows how superb Steve`s skill and artistry is.
What an incredible find!
It's awesome & I don't live far away so I'm going to go see it sometime , congrats & cheers 🍻
Àa
Where did all that mud come from?
I'm never going in the water again.
A leisurely visit to the Jurassic Coast is on my bucket list.
Gives me chills looking at it, wondrous!
Im surprized Attenborough it’s still around. He must be a museum piece himself.
Majority of people don’t realize those “fossils” are remakes of the actual ones. Just like the full ones in museums.
exactly, fossils are too fragile to be kept in public spaces, so they make replicas of them and keep the original thing in a safe space where it can be researched
You can see them holding up a cast of it in the video, but that is the original fossil in the video.
0:22 I bet it could have beaten a T-Rex in a fight, but only because of T-Rex not having invented a snorkel yet 😂
Just have this image now of a T-Rex in a shed frantically working to figure out how to breathe underwater with his little arms 😂
T-Rex could not scratch his butt … let that sink in …
@@whynottalklikeapiratTrees and the ground exist.
Have you ever once in your life seen a dog use its paws to scratch its own ass?
No: they do that shīt on your carpet. Why would any dinosaur not simply scratch itself on the nearest object that juts out far enough, as literally all other living things except humans do naturally?
@@Atmatan_Kabbaher Because that big fat tail and those tall thicc thighs are in the way of squatting to the point where it’s scaly butt touches the ground.
Same goes for a tree unless it would lay down on its side and somehow push itself backwards into a position where it could then try to twerk violently to bounce off the ground.
And further - if you’ remember a dog uses its front legs to lean on and pull itself forward doing the signature thing on the carpet.
Picture a t-rex trying that, face in the dirt, wee arms squashed by its massive weight, hind legs impossibly splayed out to the sides and the tail poking up at a break-neck angle in a desperate attempt to create some butt clearance 😂.
How many chickens and flamingos have you seen attempting that manoeuvre? How many fish? How many cockroaches? Are kangaroos in the grey zone?
The Monkes are home free of course they have aaall the hands and also like to cooperate …🍑🐒 👍👌
@@whynottalklikeapirat First off, Cockroaches and fish don't have the same types of nerve endings as mammals and avians have.
Second off, you do know that trees were significantly larger when the dinosaurs lived than they are now? Oxygen was higher and even arthropods were larger in size. A rex could literally walk past a tree taller than some of our current, modern day skyscrapers hundreds of times a day: our tallest redwoods today don't even come close to the average size of ancient trees.
Finally, you have a very weird imagination of how you think animal biology works.
In what universe do you unironically try to justify and argue that a trex couldn't scratch its own ass. Like c'mon dude, even if common sense weren't against you, two seconds of logic surely is.
Question: Are you planning on excavating the rest of this Pliosaur from the Jurassic Coast? It would be amazing if you were to recover the rest of the animal to put on display.
God I hope so
@@erikiacopelli451they are planning on it this coming Spring/Summer if memory serves me right
@@jo-vf8jx that so awesome I can't wait 😁tyvm!

@jo-vf8jx Hopefully it doesn't crumble away with these heavy storms we're getting
Thanks for so much dedication and sharing.
I love watching you make your wildflower tea almost as much as watching you create a blade.
What a fantastic find!
Its so good to see Captain Picard keeping busy 😭 Although he seemed to prefer archaeology in Startrek tng 🤔 lol
A sea monster found on the cliffs?
Don't get me wrong but that looks more like a dragon skull to me.
You mean cliffs that used to be a seabed long ago
Nah!, I can't believe that. Deffo a dragon from the cliffs. Possibly as much as 500 years old!.@@garyk1334
You need Jesus.
@slappy8941 No thanks I've seen what religion does to people & I don't like it at all
@@slappy8941 You need fossils
This is one of the most stunning things ive ever seen.
Great interviews! Totally love it 😀
Ill never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men came out, the damn beast took the rest.
anyway, we delivered the bomb
Do we really need to call them monsters? The only monsters I know walk on two feet and use smart phones.
INCRÍVEL!!! que mundo louco esse que vivemos!! 🤯😍🤩
Fascinating! I love this stuff.
Great piece! So interesting
Incredible
Fascinating. Thank you!
The condition is breath taking, looks like it died last year.
Very good film 👍
This has been going on for as long as the waters have met the land... Imagine there were individuals that made discoveries throughout the centuries, imagine what they thought? perhaps even dragons! might have been a common belief amongst many different people across the world?
Possibilities abound!
I think it's a pretty well unstated concensual 'fact' that dragons, if ever real creatures, were likely just large and misclassified reptiles or sauropods.
Whether they lived alongside humans is a different debate entirely.
To me the only difference between a dragon and a Quetzalcoatl is that we now factually have the bones of one of them and then randomly decided the other doesn't exist.
Kimmeridge is great for fossils! Also (as I have personally experienced), it is great for flies and broken legs!
Nice job to the young woman asking the questions. Last question was terrific- can visitors walk that beach and find fossils still.
kudos on the find!
Well done!
I just got chills.
Just to say it, the skull of a pliosaur made up one-fifth of the body, so if you multiply the length of the skull from snout tip to the back of the skull, you'll get the actual size of the animal.
This is confirmed with the size of Liopleurodon. Many thought it was 33 feet, but it was really 20-23 feet from a full skeleton found. The largest skull, which was 4.15 feet, came up with an animal of 22 feet and 3.3 tons. The same goes for all other pliosaurs.

Yes, their necks and tails were shorter than previously thought. Makes them no less scary, since the business end is the huge head, jaws, and teeth.
@dondragmer2412 No, duh Sherlock Holmes. Like, I TOTALLY did not know they had 15-ton bite forces and could PROBABLY swim fast enough to chase prey.

@@kaijuar2003You writing like an asshole and dating your own messages makes me question everything about your validity.
You could be right, but I'm still going to spend the rest of my budget proving you wrong 😂
It seems that everything from the era had big sharp teeth . Same Dentist ? Cool find . :O)
I always state that it is impossible for us to know how many other, undiscovered, species of, so called, "monsters" lived in prehistoric times because of the ever changing world 🌎 we live in. As a result of Earth's constant reclamation by subterranean movements. Not much can be done about what we don't know because we can't pull out anything reclaimed back into lava.
INFORMATION CAN NOT BE DESTROYED.
Old film "Walking with Dinosaurs" has an episode about marine dinosaurs of Jurassic era and a story suggesting that they could hurt each other and sometimes deadly. In the episode one of Pliosaurs gets bitten by another one , gets weak and does not survive a vicious sea storm , ends up being washed away on the shore and dies like whales die these days.. When talking about the size of this one, they said in another program that it was possibly a younger one, because in size it is smaller than what archaeologists found before ..
Wow that's amazing !!!!!
That thing looks *FEROCIOUS!*
So that is amazing that another skull of this species is found in roughly same area in europe, as the previous found in the sandstone caves in Holland..
That complete big skull you had on the table look identical like the one found in the sandstone mining caves in Holland toward the border of Belgium.
Found complete skull sometime around ww1 or even earlier mining sandstone in those dugg out tunnels during a dig.
If I recall right during WW2 the na**is found the skull when looking for the resistance in the tunnels and they stole the skull and took it to France where it still is last I heard.
Regardless of several times beggin France to return it to Holland France have kept it and refused to give it back to Holland.
Very nice to see more digging done.. to find our past we need to keep digging and dig deeper and deeper.. !
I'm surprised that it is Legal for the Public to pick up and/or remove ANY fossils from this site.
Being able to access the beach is one thing but allowing the public (especially foreign Tourists) do any more than that can result in irreversible harm and huge regrets.
In Canada, ALL Fossils (and Meteorites) belong to the Government of Canada. Canadians are permitted to find and extract fossils but are required by law (or at least supposed) to report any finds and/or send them to Ottawa for scientific research, after which the fossil (or meteorite) "may" be returned to the finder depending on the specimen's significance.
Wow, I thought Canada was progressive but how ultra Orwellian and restrictive they are ! .... "permitted to find"? yikes, permitted?? north korea much?? "All fossils belong to the Government"?? that is fairly pathetic.. tell me, technically..what "irreversable harm " is done when a child takes home a Nautilus fossil? ...what specific "harm " is done? there is none.
also, there is not much "scientific research" done to fossils , basically they just date them and say, "yep, that is a horse shoe crab" .
It's basically legal on any coast in the UK. As long as you aren't hammering the fossils out of the cliff or the floor, and are just collecting it from the loose shingle (and unless the land is on private property where you need to ask permission to collect) it's automatically yours.
our world is full of mysteries... imagine these creatures so full of wonders..
So this guys come up with this huge beast based on the portion of a "snout" that has some teeth in it??!?
It always cracks me up when I hear people talking about an animal that hasn't existed for 150 million years like they absolutely knew everything about them and their behaviors. It's preposterous. And when they start this video talking about how an ocean dweller could take t Rex in a fight is just silly. Why not just say, "here's this super crazy crocodillian fossil we found..." because that's interesting enough.
That is really awesome
I live in Northern California, and we don't have anything this cool out here.
Man! If i could go back in time for 5 minutes, i go to when these creatures were in abundance
Fantastic.
Looks like a prehistoric saltwater croc
I hope they are able to find the rest of the body if they can
I thought this was supposed to be a special TV show over Christmas ?
Wow, and the rest of its body is still embedded in the cliff face.
This is soooooo cool 😎
Look at those damn teeth. Holy cow. They look like indestructible metal. Looks tough as hell even after 150 million years. Imagine how strong they were when that thing was alive!
Wow, that's a scary lookin fish
It is terrifying isn't it!
@@TheEtchesCollectionit reminds of a video game sea monsters of something
@@DxrkShad0w That may well be why the BBC chose to call it the Giant Sea Monster. Nature is amazing and some of it's creations like this Pliosaur can really exceed our imagination.
Typical pitbull owner: nah..my pitt can take it on!@@TheEtchesCollection
Ye, but it's a water lizard!
Only goes to show that any life we find outside of earth most like will try to eat us lol
1:27 are those goblin shark jowls?
The buenime triangle the last time I got this on the road it also kick me out somehow the page popped up?
Same holes on the snout like Spinosaurus 😂👍
Ah bowt 2.5mls away in our Eocene cliffs NR Taddiford gap we have a mammalian crocodilian level all but devoured by Terminal groyne syndrome. The decimation of this area is heartbreaking. R I P Beckton Bunny
Its a sea dragon...not a fish....
Paradigms are interesting, looks like a dragon to me
All these incredible creatures buried deep in the rocks over huge periods of time and yet we still have young-earth-creationists who believe that the earth was created six thousand years ago. Science exposes the truth of our reality.
nexpro, Why are you a believer in Uniformitarianism?
It takes more "faith" to believe in millions of years, and what these scientists say, than it does to believe in what the Bible says.
They prefer myths & fables to reality because they think they're going to live forever if they bow & scrape enough , sad really
Man must be governed like children. A common faith is needed to provide social structure and “hope “. A hopeful society is a productive society.
@adamhuffman3354 False Hope is no hope , I'm a happy atheist at peace with the fact I have one short life , I'm making sure I enjoy it . Funny isn't it how civilizations & tribes throughout history & across the globe managed to have peaceful happy law abiding societies of large & small size without ever having heard of your god or his odd extremely limited in scope commandments
No mention of the man who found it.. Or menton of him on the tv show??????
"Giant Sea Monster" is a bit overcooked. Reads like a poster for a 50's giant monster movie. Great report, though!
That's no sea monster, that's Slifer the Sky Dragon. It even has the 3rd eye on its forehead
No second mouth tho?
Could have beaten T-Rex in a fight. Of course T-Rex would be more concerned fighting drowning.
This is really frightening. Just think about living at such a time where language was just ulla bulla and you are in the water trying to figure out what they are telling you. Meanwhile this creature is getting closer and closer
Um , that would be Ugga Shmugga Ooog . NOT ulla bulla !
There were no humans around when this animal was alive.
God was busy in them 1st 7days😂🙏
Are sea dropped so much
to bad they wont let them excavate that whole area no telling what awesome discoveries would be found
A real dragon
Is this Pliosaur bigger than a Mosasaur?
When I look at this head, I mostly think of a dragon or a crocodile body.
You lost me at 150 million years
Can't you count that high on your fingers and toes? 😂😂😂
@@slappy8941 and neither can you..🤦♂🤦♂
if you win the lottery you can keep 6000 and i keep the rest deal ??
Imagine yourself on a fishing boat, fishing pole in hand trying to catch your next meal and this mf-er takes the bait!! Now what??
Well, of course it could have beaten T. rex in a fight; if the fight took place on or underwater.
I believe the teeth are grossly exaggerated. It's like a caricature made to fit its 'sea monster' description.
Came for sea monsters, left due to a distinct lack of sea monsters. Just some dude talking about some shit they found on a beach.
A closed mind is an empty mind champ. Now get back on that dishwasher please. Thanks.
So far they do have the skull. That skull is from a creature from the sea, and that skull is giant. That sea creature was a monster. A sea monster.
Not likely to ever have come in contact with Rex! Right? So why even bring Rex up?
Don't u guys think that the cliff was once under water?
Head of a Dragon !
I wouldve loved to see steve erwin jump on that beast! Crikey😊
We're gonna need a bigger boat.
It's "your", not we're. Mandela effect activated!
@@bobbybooshay8641
I've never seen jaws.
I'm 30.
Beat a t rex in a fight? In the sea sure, on land no. What a silly thing to say
If this is true its incredible scary ❤
The statistic that ichthyosaur would beat a trex in a fight means nothing. One is a land based created and the other is ocean based. The creature that is in natural environment would win.
Isn't that what attack an ww1 sub ?
Looks like a damn dragon…
Could see where people could mistake it for one….
It is!!!! St George killed a Dragon , all the stuff ancients spoke about are getting found
@@gmain1977 -ah, the time frame is a little off… by 70 million years….
That was buried during the flood.
well it would not work as this is a strong and fast swimmer
Elizzardbeth is back
Thats what sea said
So Nessie went on a road trip?
Monster 😮 thank god it's extinct now. Wouldn't want to meet it when i go fishing deep-sea. Excellent find
T- Rex would thump this fish up and down the beach like a little bony starfish!!! We're talking Godzilla baby!!!
We found a skull in a cliff, obviously it's a sea monster how else could it get on the cliff.. 😂😂
Wow. When you are that poorly educated maybe you shouldn't comment?
Well that cliff used to be a seabed millions of years ago, plate tectonic movement also occurred and now it's a cliff
it was not a cliff back when it was alive obviously
We tell our children for years that there’s no monsters!! Yet you people post it as such when it’s just a dinosaur. Monsters are people hurting children. Thumbs down for your title
Is there not an Idea that Stone Henge When the Earth Was Pangeae England was Very Worm 😊
I bet there was something bigger 😮
Maybe all the dinosaurs died because there was a lot more CO2 in the atmosphere back when they roamed the planet. (half-satirical to prove a point).
Yep. Look at what the Neanderthal did with their SUV's. Melted an incredible amount of ice!
how this giant predator extinct what happen in the pass until know no one knows.
Those teeth look like dragon teeth
stop
