化石拍賣（魚類和海洋脊椎動物）

来自摩洛哥的美丽莫拉鳄颚，特征是带有牙根和颌骨的一部分。该骨骼已部分修复，但化石的自然多孔性仍清晰可见。它是在 Khouribga 的磷矿床中发现的。这种白垩纪海洋爬行动物是当时最大的海洋掠食者之一。
Mosasaurus 是最后一批莫拉鳄之一，也是最大的之一。像大多数莫拉鳄一样，肢体已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 可达到长度 17–18 米（56 英尺），略长于近亲如 Tylosaurus 和 Hainosaurus。它也是最强壮的莫拉鳄之一，某些个体估计体重在 25 到 30 吨之间。它的身体修长、厚实、桶状，头颅巨大，颌部强劲且连接紧密。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的立体视觉有限，嗅球发育不良，使专家们相信 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.
