As I may have mentioned to one or two of you, I bumped into Jeff Liston, sometime president of EUSA, at Peterborough station a couple of years ago. He was telling me about his part-time PhD into a very very big extinct fish. Those of you north of the border now have the opportunity to see a fairly complete fossil skeleton. No overall length is mention in the BBC article, but Jeff mentioned a rough figure of 27 metres. I first thought he said 27 feet, which I was impressed enough by.

But the article says it "measures more than 15 metres in length"...
