Big Swimmer with Big Pics

BBC reports Colossal pliosaur fossil secrets revealed by CT scanner.
"The X-rays are helping to build up a 3D picture of this ferocious predator, called a pliosaur, which terrorized the oceans 150m years ago. The 2.4m-long (7.9ft) fossil skull was recently unearthed along the UK's Jurassic coast, and is thought to belong to one of the biggest pliosaurs ever found. The scans could establish if the giant is a species that is new to science", according to the report which includes some video of the skull and CT scanning.
