The fossil of the 15 metre (50 ft) long "sea monster" found in Arctic Norway is shown in this undated handout picture. The animal was the biggest of its kind known to science. With dagger-like teeth in a mouth large enough to bite a small car, the 150-million year old dinosaur-era pliosaur, a fierce marine repitle, was about five metres (16 ft 5 in) longer than the previous pliosaur record holder found in Australia, researchers said on February 27, 2008.
