In UK, the remains are thought to be the world's biggest ever sea monster have been discovered on the south coast of England.

 

The fossilized skull of a giant "sea monster" has been discovered on a Dorset beach, part of the UK's Jurassic Coast. The skull belongs to an enormous marine reptile called a Pliosaur, a top predator 150 million years ago.

Richard Edmonds, from heritage site, said, "This is a once in a lifetime find, there is no question about that. The important thing to bear in mind is that this was found on the beach, a large part of it and it just shows the best place to find fossils is actually on the beach rather than up in the cliffs."
