化石拍賣（海洋生物）

来自摩洛哥的美丽 Mosasaurus 下颚骨，带有牙根和部分下颌骨。骨头已部分修复，但化石的天然多孔性仍清晰可见。它是在 Khouribga 的磷矿床中发现的。这种白垩纪的海洋爬行动物曾是当时最大的海洋捕食者之一。

Mosasaurus 是晚期莫萨兽之一，也是最大的之一。与大多数莫萨兽一样，它的四肢已进化为短而高效的鳍肢，前鳍大于后鳍。已知的最大物种 Mosasaurus hoffmannii 能达到 17–18 米（56 英尺）的长度，略长于近亲如 Tylosaurus 和 Hainosaurus。它也是最强壮的莫萨兽之一，一些最大的个体估计重量在 25 到 30 吨之间。它的身体又长又厚，呈桶状，头骨庞大，颚部强大、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，因此专家们认为 Mosasaurus 主要栖息在水面附近。

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.
