化石拍賣（海怪）

来自摩洛哥的美丽莫拉莎龙（Mosasaur）颚骨，牙齿带根部并包含下颌骨的一部分。该骨骼已部分修复，但化石的天然多孔性仍然清晰可见。它是在哈鲁比加/Khouribga的磷矿床中发现的。这个白垩纪海洋爬行动物是当时最大的海洋掠食者之一。

莫拉莎龙（Mosasaurus）是最后一批莫拉莎龙之一，也是最大的之一。像大多数莫拉莎龙一样，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。它也是最强健的莫拉莎龙之一，一些最大个体的体重估计在25到30吨之间。它的身体长而厚重，呈桶状，头颅庞大，颚部强劲且紧密相连。眼睛相对较大，但很可能提供有限的立体视觉，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.
