It is a terrifying skull a foot long and containing 700 razor sharp teeth.
Yet rather than being a prehistoric monster from the deep, this incredible head was actually found in Oxfordshire - and belongs to the biggest pike ever found in Britain.
The grisly fish carcass was found in the undergrowth next to the River Cherwell by farmer Peter Mone. |

Money initially thought it was a dead deer, but when he got closer he realised the foot-long elongated skull belonged to a enormous pike.
Money believes the pike was washed out of the river in a flood.
He measured and photographed the skull and showed it to angling expert Andrew Crisp. |
