A Dragon's Skull The Size Of A Bus Washed Up On A Beach For 'Game Of Thrones'
Beachgoers were surprised to find a bus-sized giant skull wash up on Dorset's "Jurassic Coast."
It was 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet tall.
An ichthyosaur, a dolphin like creature which lived 220-65 million years ago, was found in the area in 2004. This is the first dragon.

HBO took out a two-page ad, showing a dragon shadow over text, in February for the season three premiere.
But Blinkbox was responsible for this stunt, created to celebrate the show's arrival on the company's streaming TV and movie service.
Blinkbox worked with PR firm Taylor Herring, which put a 12 foot Mr. Darcy in the Serpentine last month for a TV channel launch.
The scene was inspired by a moment when GOT character Arya Stark finds dragon skulls in King's Landing on the show.
Of course, the dragon bones weren't constructed on the beach.
Artist Dave Cresswell constructed the giant skull.
Three sculptors worked on the piece.
And it took them three months to finish the project.
The dragon skull was then brought to the beach for some finishing touches.
Here it is, in all it's glory.
Now for a cool stunt on a smaller scale...
