A remarkable fossil is discovered on the English coast. It’s the remains of an ichthyosaur, a giant ‘sea dragon’ from the Jurassic period. Could this be the discovery of a lifetime?
David Attenborough and the team behind The Giant Dinosaur join the investigation. Using state-of-the-art scanning techniques, a team of scientists reconstruct this great predator’s skeleton in 3D. Have they discovered an entirely new species of marine reptile?
Cutting-edge CGI creates the most accurate image of the ichthyosaur to date and the sea dragon’s dying moments are recreated.
