The prehistoric monster was partial to shelled prey that other predators tended to ignore, such as sea turtles. To that end, it had enormous blunt teeth to crush through that hard surface and get to the vulnerable meat underneath.

It also had some heft behind that crowded mouthful of teeth.

“With a metre-long skull and a total length of 5.8 metres (about 19 foot), it would have been one of the biggest coastal predators of its time,” University of Edinburgh paleontologist Michela Johnson said in a news release.

A paleoartist’s rendition of what it probably looked like showed a positively alien creature, something that looks like a cross between a demon and a crocodile. It begins with a long snout full of those flat chompers and ends in spiked tail.

Frankly, it looks like something Motorhead’s Kilmister would have written a song about.

If anything defined Kilmister, it was living a hard rock-and-roll lifestyle.

He usually wore a black cowboy hat adorned with a skull and crossed swords. Long black hair and bushy sideburns spread wildly from under it. For most of his life, his face was covered by a mustache that snaked down either side of the mouth.
