Fossils suggest that a large octopus, possibly up to 60 feet in size, may have existed during the Cretaceous period, a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. This creature has been likened to a "kraken", a legendary sea monster, and may have been comparable in size to a school bus. The discovery is based on jaw fossils, which imply the presence of a massive octopus in ancient oceans.
