The skull of a giant sea monster that terrorized the oceans 150 million years ago has been discovered in cliffs in southern England.

The marine reptile has been identified as a completely new species of pliosaur and the skull has survived with dozens of razor-sharp teeth with which it once ripped apart the flesh of its victims.

Newshour's Julian Marshall asked palaeobiologist Professor Emily Rayfield to describe the unusual find.
