A jaw bone comes from a giant ichthyosaur, a reptile with 205 million-year-old found on a beach in Lilstock Somerset, England as "one of the largest animals" that ever lived.
Experts estimated with 26 meters (85 feet) long—approaching the size of some blue whales, the largest animal ever known to exist. Ichthyosaurs are large marine reptiles which roamed the seas during the age of the dinosaurs.
