A monster dinosaur has been discovered
The ichthyosaur dominated the seas more than 200 million years ago and was capable of slicing a great white shark in half with its razor-sharp teeth.
The fossilised remains, including a tooth that was three inches wide, have been discovered in rocks in the Swiss Alps.
Scientists believe that its body was preserved at the bottom of an ancient ocean before ice and snow melted to push the fossils 9,000 feet up in the newly formed Alps.
The beasts would have been bigger than blue whales, the largest creature on Earth at present.
Dr. Heinz Furrer, from the University of Zurich, said: "This was a massive predator, one of the biggest that has ever lived.
"It would have used its huge teeth to catch fish, squid and even big alligators or crocodiles.
"It may also have eaten smaller ichthyosaurs."
