Quite relieved we are talking about a fossil being excavated.

Anyway, my biggest question is what is the "third eye" in the labelled picture of the skull?

Edit: never mind. It tells you in the story.

Cool.  With a 2m skull that makes it about the same size as Richard Forrest's Pliosaur from 2009 :
