The 80-centimetre-long fossil, discovered in Argentina, shows that Dakosaurus andiniensis had the massive and terrifying skull of a predatory dinosaur. Previously known only from bone fragments, the animal was nearly 4 metres (12 feet) long, with four flippers and the tail of a fish.
The leader of the National Geographic-funded expedition that discovered the skull, Zulma Gasparini of the National University of La Plata in Argentina, dubbed the creature "Godzilla".
