Enormous ancient sea reptile identified from amateur fossil find

Scientists have identified the largest marine reptile ever, a creature longer than two buses, living 202 million years ago. Fossil hunters found jawbones in Somerset, UK, leading to the discovery of two giant ichthyosaurs. More evidence is needed to confirm the 25m length, as only fragments have been found. The first jawbone was discovered in 2016, with a second found in 2020 by a father and daughter. The team continues to search for more pieces to uncover the full size of the ancient sea reptile.
