AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An extremely
Very beautiful skull of exceptionally high quality … a unique specimen and perfectly restored.
Pickup near Rotterdam is preferred and will be delivered in a metal chest.
A long-extinct apex predator, in fact the mosasaur was such an intense predator, that if it still swam our oceans, the megalodon might never have existed! These nightmarish marine animals were really gigantic lizards that somewhat resembled the land-dwelling Komodo dragon. Imagine a lizard-monster with the double hinge jaw of a snake, enormous teeth, and a tail like a shark.. oh and they could grow up to 18 meters (depending on the species) that’s 4 meters longer than your average yellow school bus! So they basically ate whatever they wanted (fish, dolphins, whales, sharks, even other Mosasaurus). Fossils of this species have been found on every continent, including Antarctica, proof that these lizards-kings dominated the ocean.
The quality of this skull is of very high quality.
The Halisaurus harambourgi is a smaller brother from the same mosasaur family.
