FOSSILIZED MOSASAUR SKULL - RARE
FOSSILIZED MOSASAUR SKULL - RARE TETHYSAURUS NOPCSAINorth Africa, Morocco, Errachidia Province, Goulmima, Upper Cretaceous, ca. 93.9 to 89.8 million years ago. This is a rare example of a prehistoric mosasaur species known as Tethysaurus nopcsai, the only species from the Tethysaurus family! As the mosasaur fossilized, some of the bones shifted and separated- part of the mandible or palatal teeth are between the upper and lower jaws, but the overall form of the snout and eye orbit well preserved, and the white stone matrix contrasts well against the umber brown hues of bone and teeth. Tethysaurus was a transitional species between more primitive mosasaurs and later species. The large teeth and hinged jaws enabled mosasaurs to gulp down their prey nearly whole, like modern day snakes. This carnivorous lizard possessed a streamlined body, flattened tail, and webbed feet and somewhat resembled flippered crocodiles. Size: 10.75" L x 1.5" W x 5" H (27.3 cm x 3.8 cm x 12.7 cm)
