'Sea monster' whale fossil unearthed

Wish some of these creatures were still around today, we'd have something else to fight rather than each other.

I bet tomorrow they are going to announce the discovery of the skeleton of an ancient Ahab right next to the whale.
 
Once again, Freeones not only entertaining but educational too. Can you imagine going fishing and having one of those things biting? I'm partly glad they're not around nowadays, though a nice specimen, the ocean would be too dangerous for us humans.

Yeah I agree I am all about adding a few hoodahs so I can position some archers and javilin throwers on there while storming the castle or Gundor!...shit I better stop listening to Led Zepplin.
 
I saw a brief report about this on the news today. Makes you wonder what other lost creatures are just waiting to be discovered.
 
Unbelievable that those peaceful whales swimming around today in the oceans all have this bad-ass forefather. Now you see them from a different point of view. So don't fuck with them. They could evolve such teeth again!
 
Meh it's only the Miocene period. The Devonian had some real predators.
 
That's cool. With the Sperm Whale being a close relative maybe they can create on of these guys with some DNA, similar to what they are doing with Aurochs and Mammoths.

It would be nuts to go to Sea World and seeing a prehistoric beast of a whale dining on some marlin.
 
I was expecting something significantly bigger than whales.

same here, 'sea monster' and 'leviathan' definitely conjure up images of something that would dwarf a fucking sperm whale not be the same thing with the big sharp teeth option...

Wouldn't it be great if these prehistoric animals just returned one day? Oh the mayhem...
