化石拍賣（海怪）

来自摩洛哥的美丽莫阿鳄颌骨，带有牙根和下颌骨的一部分。骨骼已部分修复，但化石的天然多孔性仍清晰可见。它在哈里布扎(Khouribga)的磷矿床中发现。这个白垩纪的海生爬行动物是当时最强大海洋掠食者之一。
Mosasaurus是最后一批莫阿鳄之一，也是体型最大者之一。与大多数莫阿鳄一样，其四肢进化为短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍大于后鳍。已知最大的物种莫阿鳄（Mosasaurus hoffmannii）可达到17–18米（56英尺）的长度，略长于近亲如泰洛鳄(Tylosaurus)和海诺鳄(Hainosaurus)。它也是最强健的莫阿鳄之一，个体中最大的估计体重在25至30吨之间。它的身体修长、粗壮，呈桶状，头颅巨大，颚部强劲且紧密相连。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供的并不明显的复视，嗅球发育不良，专家因此认为莫阿鳄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.
