来自摩洛哥的美丽莫萨龙颚骨，牙齿带有牙根，颚骨的一部分。该骨骼已被部分修复，但化石的天然多孔性仍清晰可见。它是在Khouribga的磷矿层中发现的。这只白垩纪海洋爬行动物是当时最大海洋掠食者之一。 
莫萨龙（Mosasaurus）是莫萨龙科中最后一批之一，也也是其中最大的一支。和大多数莫萨龙一样，它的四肢已进化为短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍比后鳍大。已知最大的品种莫萨龙霍夫曼尼（Mosasaurus hoffmannii）可达到17–18米（56英尺）的长度，略长于近亲如Tylosaurus和Hainosaurus。它也是最粗壮的莫萨龙之一，一些个体的体重估计在25到30吨之间。它的身体修长、厚实，呈桶状，头颅巨大，颚部强劲且相互紧密连接。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供有限的立体视觉，嗅球发育不良，专家认为莫萨龙主要栖息在水面附近。

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.
