Description
This skull of a plesiosaur ( replica) is on display in Sydney Sealife aquarium in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia.
The original: High tides at Bondi Beach in Sydney have led to the unearthing of some long-buried fossilised remains in 2015 of a large marine reptile, believed to have once belonged to a 14 metre-long plesiosaur.
The giant fossil was identified as the skull of a plesiosaur, which was the largest marine reptile during the Jurassic Period, 200 to 145 million years ago. Thought to be two or three times the length of a shark and armed with razor-sharp teeth, these ancient marine predators were easily identified by their barrel-like body, long neck, typically long tail and small head.
