Loch Ness Monster Found

 

The Loch Ness Monster, or rather, it's remains, have been "found" (registration required at news24.com, though I've snippeted most of it below):

Gerald McSorley, 67, found the fossilised remains of a long-necked, carnivorous sea reptile, which existed 150 million years ago, while walking along the shoreline. McSorley had stumbled on four perfectly preserved vertebrae of a plesiosaur - the prehistoric creature most commonly associated with modern "Nessie" sightings. The fossil, which is set in grey limestone, complete with spinal chord and blood vessels, was found in shallow water, and scientists at the National Museum in Scotland confirmed the fossil - the first of its kind to be found at Loch Ness - proved that a 10 metre "monster" once lived in the area.
