The remains of a Loch Ness-style creature that lived in the English Channel 200 million years ago have been found on a beach.
Archaeologists have spent months piecing together dozens of old bones found encased in limestone on Britain's Jurassic Coast by a fossil hunter.
After nearly completing the jigsaw-like puzzle they have disclosed that the skeleton, which is 70 per cent complete, is that of a 12ft long plesiosaur.
The marine reptile resembled the Loch Ness monster with its long thin neck and tail, four large flippers and razor-sharp teeth.
Plesiosaurs existed during the Jurassic period 150 to 200 million years ago when what is now the Channel was a shallow, tropical sea.

To be fair... They could have easily spent their time putting a number of animals bones together and making this up....

Nessy looks pretty happy about it in that picture. Incidentally, wouldn't the Channel have just been part of the ocean surrounding Pangea 200 million years ago? http://www.palaeos.com/Earth/Geography/Pangea.htm
