Absolutely enormous.
Incredible.
Clearly, these giants were like buses.
You wait, wait, and then two come along.
Not quite at once, but just a couple of years later.
a father and daughter fossil hunting pair, Justin and Ruby Reynolds.
And Ruby, I should say as well, she was only 11 years old at the time, and she and her dad found some more fragments of what turned out to be yet another giant serangula bone, this time much more complete, but showing exactly the same features as Paul's.
This time we had two specimens from a very rare...
geological unit in the time called the lake triassic about 205 ish million years old and so this time i invited paul justin and ruby and other people to be part of my team and we described them as a new gigantic ichthyosaur that we named ichthyotitan in 2024 and this beastie was genuinely a titan you're looking at easily 26 meters long animal
I mean, so it's really a contender for the largest animal that ever lived.
Absolutely, yeah.
It's up there as a contender.
And we included some other giant fragments in there that may even belong to something in the 30, 40 metre range.
And we're hoping for more material like that to come forward in the future.
There is, yeah.
So Justin and Ruby actually joined me on a major expedition.
They came out with their family to British Columbia in Canada to film for this big documentary and IMAX film that's coming out even later this year, early next year.
And that's kind of all focused around Ichthyotitan and giant ichthyosaurs, but there are some new discoveries on the horizon.
Yeah, it is massive.
And this thing, it was found in January 2021 by a chap called Joe Davis.
