The pliosaur was the largest marine reptile that ever lived. This pliosaur skull dates back around 155 million years, and was discovered on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. It is one of the largest and best preserved fossils of its kind ever found.
The fossil bones of the pliosaur skull were recovered by Kevan Sheehan as they were washed out of a landslide on Weymouth Bay. Firstly, in 2003, he found three massive sections of the jaw lying at the base of the cliff. Over the next five years he returned to the site after rough weather, patiently recovering the pieces as they became exposed.
The largest piece weighed over 80 kg. Kevan missed only four pieces, three of which were recovered by two other collectors. One small piece at the back of the jaw is lost.
Our Weymouth cruise will take to the point where the pliosaur skull was found and if you are interested in seeing the actual skull, it is now resident in the Dorset Museum.
