THE 2m-long skull of an "underwater T-rex" that terrorised the seas as an apex predator some 150 million years ago has been unearthed on the Jurassic Coast.
At up to 12m long and with 130 razor-sharp teeth, the pliosaur was the ultimate killing machine and had four powerful, flipper-like limbs to propel it towards prey at up to 30mph.
The remarkable fossil will take centre stage in a special David Attenborough show on BBC1 on New Year's Day.
