Most of the oceans have not been explored. It is a fact. However, such items are often thrown ashore, which are even difficult to think of. It is quite logical to see a dolphin or a whale in such a place. People are already used to deploy rescue operations to help our smaller brothers. But what if the whole ship took to the beach? Or a dragon skull? The top most interesting coastal finds are presented below.
180 million year old fossils
Professional fossil collector Tony Jill discovered bones of a prehistoric lizard called the ichthyosaurus. The remains, which are approximately 180 million years old, are 12 meters long (the skull alone is 2 meters!), Making them one of the largest ichthyosaur skeletons ever found.
They are currently on display at Charmouth Fossils, which features a collection of similar specimens found on a nearby beach. But the coast is not the only place where you can find rare and valuable things. At times, dinosaur bones were where it was impossible to expect.
Giant man lego
In 2012, employees opened a beach bar. On that day, they noticed something unusual. “We saw something swinging in the sea, and decided to pull it out of the water, ” a Reuters employee said. “It turned out to be a Lego toy in the shape of a man, and in full size.”

World War II fighter
The plane of the Second World War era appeared on the Welsh beach in 2007, more than 60 years after the crash off the coast in 1942. The aircraft's engines failed during the exercises, as a result of which it plunged into the ocean. Fortunately, his pilot managed to eject.
Oily clods
In August 2017, nearly one dozen beaches throughout Hong Kong were closed to visitors after accumulations of frozen palm oil appeared on the shore. The day before, the two ships carrying it wrecked near mainland China, as a result of which their cargo fell into the sea.
Humpback whale
Of course, there are cases when aquatic mammals are washed ashore. But not every day you can see a 12-meter humpback whale lying on the beach. Unfortunately, the animal died, and eyewitnesses watched as a bulldozer tried to return it to the ocean, where it could decompose in the usual environment.

Cigarettes
In 2014, a Danish freighter collided with a hurricane off the coast of Northern France, dropping more than 500 containers of cigarettes into the ocean. Around $ 4 million worth of Marlboro cigarettes were thrown out on beaches in the United Kingdom later that day. Later the boxes were burned.
Thousands of tires
About 10, 000 tires ended up on the beach in North Carolina after a 2010 hurricane. They were part of a ten-year project by the State Marine Fisheries Department, which used them as artificial reefs to protect the coast. “We don’t use them anymore, ” said Wilmington Star News Louis Daniel, director of the marine fisheries department.
Whole ship
This rusty iron ship, which locals call “Lady Liz, ” was once a proud ship that has been transporting cargo worldwide for more than 30 years. But after the storm, "Lady Elizabeth" was too damaged to continue swimming. In the end, she went to the Falkland Islands in 1936, where she stayed. It can be observed here today.

Whale spine
Millions of sea creatures ended up on British beaches in March 2018 thanks to tides, strong winds and a hurricane. But the most interesting discovery among them is the huge (and, importantly, intact) spine and tail of a whale.
Fake dragon skull
British beach lovers were surprised to find a 12-meter-long dragon skull on the coast of England, which is famous for its dinosaur fossils. But if you think that this massive skull belongs to some fantasy movie, then you will not be far from the truth. In fact, it was a creative ad for the popular television series Game of Thrones. A team of three sculptors spent more than two months developing, constructing and painting the skull.
