来自摩洛哥的美丽Mosasaurus颚骨，牙齿带有根部，部分下颌骨也可见。该骨骼已部分修复，但化石的天然孔隙仍然清晰可见。它是在Khouribga的磷酸盐矿床中发现的。这只白垩纪海洋爬行动物是当时最大的海洋掠食者之一。Mosasaurus是莫萨龙家族中晚期的成员之一，也是最大的之一。像大多数莫萨龙一样，它的四肢演化成短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍比后鳍更大。已知最大物种Mosasaurus hoffmannii可达到17–18米（约56英尺），略长于近缘种，如Tylosaurus和Hainosaurus。它也是最强健的莫萨龙之一，已知一些最大个体的体重估计在25到30吨之间。它的身体修长、粗壮，呈桶状，头颅庞大，颚部强劲且紧密连接。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的双目视觉有限，嗅球发育不充分，专家因此认为Mosasaurus主要生活在水面附近。***展示底座不包含在销售中。***

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.
