来自摩洛哥的美丽Mosasaurus颚骨，特色是带根的牙齿和部分下颚骨。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的磷矿层中被发现的。这种白垩纪海洋爬行动物曾是当时最大的海洋捕食者之一。
Mosasaurus在mosasaurs中属于后期的种类，也是体型最大的之一。像大多数mosasaurs一样，它的四肢进化成短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍比后鳍大。已知最大的物种Mosasaurus hoffmannii，长度可达17–18米（56英尺），略长于近亲如Tylosaurus和Hainosaurus。它也是最强壮的mosasaurs之一，一些体型最大的个体估计重达25到30吨。它的身体修长、粗壮、呈桶状，头颅庞大，颚部强而紧密相连。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的立体视野有限，嗅球发育不充分，使专家们认为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.
