来自摩洛哥的美丽Mosasaurus颚骨，特征为带根部的牙齿和部分下颌骨。该骨骼已部分修复，但化石的自然多孔性仍然清晰可见。它在Khouribga的磷酸盐矿床中被发现。这种白垩纪海生爬行动物曾是当时最大的海洋掠食者之一。
Mosasaurus曾是最后一批莫拉瑟斯之一，也是其中体型最大者之一。像大多数莫拉瑟斯一样，它的四肢已进化成短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍比后鳍更大。已知最大种Mosasaurus hoffmannii的长度可达17–18米（56英尺），略长于近缘物种如Tylosaurus和Hainosaurus。它也是最结实的莫拉瑟斯之一，估计一些个体体重在25到30吨之间。它的身体长而厚，呈桶状，头骨巨大，颚部强大且紧密连接。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供有限的立体视觉，嗅球发育也不充分，专家因此相信Mosasaurus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.
