London's Natural History Museum has opened 'Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep,' an exhibition supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation. Visitors can touch a mosasaur tooth, hold a cast of a dinosaur claw, examine Jurassic fossilized feces, and participate in the Fierce Factor trail to determine the most ferocious prehistoric sea predator. The show draws on the museum's world-leading palaeontology collection, which has long aided global scientific research. By studying past oceanic life, the exhibition aims to inform predictions about future ocean changes amid climate shifts.
