化石拍卖

来自摩洛哥的美丽莫塞拉龙颚骨，特征是牙根完好以及下颌骨的一部分。

这块骨头已被部分修复，但化石的天然多孔性仍然清晰可见。

它在Khouribga的磷矿沉积区被发现。

这只白垩纪海生爬行动物是当时最大的海洋捕食者之一。

Mosasaurus 是最后一批莫塞拉龙之一，也是其中最大的之一。像大多数莫塞拉龙一样，它的四肢进化为短小但高效的鳍肢，前鳍比后鳍大。

已知最大的物种，Mosasaurus hoffmannii，可达到17–18米（约56英尺）的长度，略长于近亲如Tylosaurus和Hainosaurus。

它也是最为健壮的莫塞拉龙之一，一些最大的个体估计体重在25到30吨之间。

它的身体修长、粗壮，呈桶状，头颅庞大，颚部强大且紧密连接。

眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的立体视觉有限，嗅球发育不充分，专家因此认为Mosasaurus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.
