Collected in the fall of 2004, "Sophie" rivals the famous Bunker Tylosaur in size.  The bones of Sophie, however, are better preserved than those of the Bunker Tylosaur.

This particular skull is from a specimen over 40 feet long.  The complete 3 dimensional skeleton will be available by June 2006.

One of the most complete and relatively un-deformed skull and skeletons ever discovered, this specimen will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of this genus and its ontogeny and phylogeny.
