Norwegian scientists have found what is: the largest marine reptile.

The 150 million-year-old fossilized specimen was found on Spitspergen, in the Artic island chain of Svalbard, in 2006.

The Jurassic-era plane carrier is one of the 40 sea reptiles recovered from the islands.

Nicknamed “The Monster”, the immense creature would have measured 15m (50ft) from nose to tail.
