化石拍賣

来自摩洛哥的美丽莫阿沙龙颚骨，牙齿带有根部，包含下颌骨的一部分。骨头已部分修复，但化石的天然孔隙性仍然清晰可见。它是在 Khouribga 的磷酸盐矿床中发现的。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 属于莫拉沙龙的末期阶段，也是体型最庞大的一员。像大多数莫拉沙龙一样，它的四肢进化成短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍大于后鳍。已知的最大物种 Mosasaurus hoffmannii 可达到 17–18 米（56 英尺）的长度，略长于近亲如 Tylosaurus 和 Hainosaurus。它也是最结实的莫拉沙龙之一，个体重量估计在 25 到 30 吨之间。它的身体悠长、厚实，呈桶状，头骨庞大，颌部强劲且紧密连接。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供有限的双眼视觉，嗅球发育不良，使专家认为 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.
