化石拍卖（非洲）

来自摩洛哥的美丽莫莎龙颚骨，牙齿有牙根，部分颌骨也露出。该骨骼已部分修复，但化石的天然多孔性仍然清晰可见。它是在Khouribga的磷酸盐矿层中发现的。这个白垩纪海洋爬行动物曾是当时最大的海洋掠食者之一。

莫莎龙（Mosasaurus）是末期莫莎龙之一，也是体型最大的种类之一。与大多数莫莎龙一样，它的四肢已经演化为短小但高效的鳍肢，前鳍大于后鳍。已知最大种Mosasaurus hoffmannii可达到长约17–18米（56英尺），略长于近亲如Tylosaurus和Hainosaurus等。它也是最强壮的莫莎龙之一，一些体型最大的个体估重在25到30吨之间。它的躯干长而粗厚，呈桶状，头颅巨大，颚部强劲且紧密连接。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的立体视觉有限，嗅球发育不良，使专家们认为莫莎斯龙主要生活在水面附近。

Beautiful Mosasaur jaw from Morocco, featuring teeth with roots and part of the mandibular bone. The bone has been partially restored, but the natural porosity of the fossil is still clearly visible. It was discovered in the phosphate deposits of Khouribga. This Cretaceous marine reptile was one of the largest ocean predators of its time.
Mosasaurus was among the last mosasaurs and also one of the largest. Like most mosasaurs, its limbs had evolved into short but efficient flippers, with the front flippers larger than the rear ones. The largest known species, Mosasaurus hoffmannii, could reach lengths of 17–18 meters (56 feet), slightly longer than close relatives such as Tylosaurus and Hainosaurus. It was also one of the most robust mosasaurs, with some of the largest individuals estimated to weigh between 25 and 30 tons. Its body was long, thick, and barrel-shaped, with a massive skull and a powerful, tightly connected jaw. The eyes were relatively large but likely provided limited binocular vision, and the olfactory bulbs were not well developed, leading experts to believe that Mosasaurus lived primarily near the water’s surface.
