AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bones of a single mosasaur skeleton, without a doubt, are completely natural; the photos speak for themselves.
This is divided into five parts to facilitate handling and transportation.
This exceptional skeleton of Mosasaurus Platecarpus is a notable specimen from the Late Cretaceous period and offers a glimpse into the ancient marine world.
Platecarpus probably fed on fish, squids, and ammonites. Like other mosasaurs, it was initially thought to swim in a manner similar to an eel, although a recent study suggests it swam more like modern sharks.

Approximately 70 to 66 million years ago.
In a natural state. The bones are well preserved and display a natural articulation, ensuring that the skeleton retains its authentic appearance.
