Pliosaurs had sensitive snouts

[DinoToyForum]

About this time last year I co-authored a descriptition of a new species of pliosaur, Pliosaurus kevani. Now, some of my colleagues have published some analyses of the internal structure of the skull: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25502-jurassic-predator-had-surprisingly-sensitive-snout.html

Thanks for the link! This will be very helpful when writing my stories about P. kevani and P. funkei.

Not sure why, but I first misread the thread title as "Pliosaurs had sensitive souls"

haha, I'm sure they had them too!

Edit - I have also added some photos to the first post showing scans of the snout.
