One hundred and fifty million years ago the part of the Earth's crust you know as the Dorset coast was amazingly different.		The water teemed with life of all shapes and sizes, from the smallest plankton to the biggest marine predators the Earth has ever seen. All these animals and plants formed a food chain with the big predators at the top.
	It lay close to the equator, beneath the warm waters of a subtropical sea that was an arm of a vast ocean covering two thirds of the planet.  The nearest land was at least 150 kilometres away.		This incredible exhibition shows you evidence for the way this ancient world worked and what it looked like.  You can see the predators themselves and the remains of their bitten and dismembered prey!
