化石拍賣（魚類和海洋脊椎動物）

来自摩洛哥的一颗美丽的暴龙蜥（莫萨苏鲁斯）牙齿，牙根保存完好，天然多孔性仍然清晰可见。牙齿体积相当大，堪称引人注目的标本。它是在西北撒哈拉地区发现的。这只白堆纪的海生爬行动物曾是其时代最强大的掠食者之一。莫萨苏鲁斯是最后一批摩拉索鳞龙之一，也是其中体型最大的之一。与大多数摩拉索鳞龙一样，它的四肢已进化为短而高效的鳍足，前鳍比后鳍更大。已知体型最大的一种——莫萨苏鲁斯 hoffmannii，长度可达 17–18 米（约 56 英尺），略长于近亲如蒂洛萨鲁斯（Tylosaurus）和海诺萨鲁斯（Hainosaurus）。莫萨苏鲁斯也是最为健壮的摩拉索鳞龙之一，估计大型个体的体重在 25 到 30 吨之间。它的身体长而厚，呈桶状，头颅巨大，颚部与颅骨紧密相连，极具力量。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的双眼视觉有限，嗅球发育不充分，表明其生活在水面附近。*** 展示架不包含在内 ***

Beautiful Mosasaurus tooth from Morocco, featuring a well-preserved root . The natural porosity is still clearly visible. The tooth is notably large, making it an impressive specimen. It was discovered in the northwestern Sahara region.
This Cretaceous marine reptile was one of the largest 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.
Mosasaurus was also one of the most robust mosasaurs, with large individuals estimated to weigh between 25 and 30 tons. Its body was long, thick, and barrel-shaped, with a massive skull and a powerful jaw tightly connected to the cranium. The eyes were relatively large but likely provided limited binocular vision, and the olfactory bulbs were not well developed, suggesting it lived primarily near the water’s surface.
