0:18 bus in the late Jurassic Europe was an
0:21 archipelago of islands much closer to
0:24 the Equator than it is today it Seas
0:28 were warm shallow and teeming with life
0:31 and in these Waters underneath my feet

0:54 P unlike dinosaurs that lived on land
0:57 these colossal marine
1:00 reptiles spent their whole lives in the
1:03 ocean they thought to have been around
1:06 10 m in
1:08 length that's about the size of a double-decker
1:10 double-decker
1:13 bus they had long broad
1:20 necks huge
1:28 Jaws but there's still a lot we don't
1:31 know about these great sea
1:33 monsters which is why this new discovery
1:39 important Steve believes that the entire

2:02 skeleton finding a complete specimen is
2:05 rare but it can tell us a great deal

2:18 work Steve and Chris think they will
2:22 have about 3 weeks to dig the fossil out
2:24 before the storms of late summer [Applause]

2:34 quite as hard as
2:38 this we're probably over a meter in
2:40 there's the the skull there just behind
2:43 me it's up to us now to get out without any
2:46 any
2:49 damage if the skull is successfully
2:51 extracted it will be taken to the etes
2:54 collection Museum in Kimber which was
2:57 founded by Steve in
3:01 2016 and now contains nearly 3,000
