The fossilized head of a pliosaur measuring more than six feet in length was extracted from the Dorset cliffs in England. The skull has more than 130 sharp teeth used for incapacitating and capturing prey. The sea monster was known to roam the seas more than 150 million years ago and may have grown to as long as 50 feet long. Some have compared the pliosaur to a Tyrannosaurus Rex of the ocean. It likely fed on fish, sharks, dinosaurs, and other sea monsters. In fact, scientists from Norway now believe that the pliosaur may have been actively fighting with Norwegian krakens, which are giant octopi first described in the 1700s. Dr. Iselin Amundsen from the Norwegian Sea Monster Research Center described the pliosaur as a competitor to the kraken during the Jurassic period. The creatures fought over food in the North Sea between modern day Norway and the British Isles. English scientist Dr. Mark Eades of the British Museum has a different take on the pliosaur. He believes that the pliosaur is a misunderstood creature that just wanted to get along with other sea monsters of the period. Dr. Eades pointed to the large number of teeth and speculates that the pliosaur was an outcast and loner among the other sea monsters. The Norwegians have scheduled a sea monster focused conference in March to discuss research findings. The event will include a plenary session, keynotes by other sea monster experts, a virtual experience from several game companies with sea monster games, and an epic rap battle with scientists sharing their findings on sea monsters, research boasts, scientifically crafted insults, academic wordplay, and major disses. Dr. Kool E. Oh from South Korea and Dr. Hot Daddy CRISPR from Harlem Tech will battle on the main stage.
