Fossil Found in Spitsbergen -- Largest Sea Reptile Ever!

You can find the BBC Story here.

What an amazing find. 50' of prehistoric crocodile. The Pliosaur. Imagine it. About the size of a humpback whale.

Not long ago Sandra and I were watching some old footage of the Croc Hunter on Animal Planet. He was hunting and capturing a Salt Water Croc of about 15 feet. It was night. When they came up on one, not even the big one they were hunting, with his head and torso floating just above the water line, I turned to Sandra and said: "Can you imagine being in a small boat just off the beach and having one of those come up next to you?"

What a world.
