An embarrassment of riches: currently working on a new plioplatecarpin (Demopolis Chalk), a new selmasaurin (Niobrara Fm.), and the solution to a longstanding mystery regarding halisauromorph taxonomy (Mooreville Chalk). All I need are more hours in the day. #paleosky #mosasaurs
Prehistoric Sea Monster Didn't Stick to The Oceans, Suggests Fossil Study.
#Mosasaurs were the apex predators of the oceans during the reign of the dinosaurs, but new research reveals dinosaurs weren't safe from them in rivers either.

Mosasaurs were giant aquatic #reptiles that lived between 94 and 66 million years ago. They were the apex predators of the sea. But scientists in Sweden say that new evidence shows #mosasaurs also lived in freshwater, in inland rivers.

Update for time travelers: mosasaurs—the shark-eating celebs of Jurassic World—weren’t confined to ancient seas. New science suggests some lived in freshwater rivers too. So if you visit the Cretaceous, maybe keep your toes out of the stream. 🦖🌊

#Mosasaurs, giant marine reptiles that existed more than 66 million years ago, lived not only in the sea but also in rivers. This is shown by new research based on analyses of a mosasaur tooth found in North Dakota and believed to belong to an animal that could reach a length of 11 […]
Mosasaurs, the giant marine reptiles that roamed the Earth more than 66 million years ago, didn’t just live in the sea. Our new research shows that they could thrive in freshwater too! Let’s dive into what we’ve discovered.

Happy #FossilFriday! #Mosasaurs were a group of predatory marine reptiles that lived during the Late #Cretaceous period. They had long tails for moving through the water, and flippers for steering. The #CretaceousCrossroads exhibit at MOR has two skeletal mounts of mosasaurs.
Ok, lo ammetto: sono una delle comparse del film, c'era anche @danremcollectibles.bsky.social, per questo ne parlo bene!! 😂😂

Hey everyone!
I'm an amateur #paleoartist with a focus on #dinosaurs, but sometimes venture into other prehistoric animals, mostly reptiles and amphibians!
Thanks for checking my stuff out!

Happy #MosasaurMonday!
Here are the big four mosasaurs of the Cretaceous seas: Tylosaurus, Globidens, Clidastes and Platecarpus

Prehistoric Planet mosasaur eating soft tissues extracted from shell of big ammonite. Close to sea floor. Very blue.
We went to a lot of trouble in modelling the change in pupil size and shape that would occur in a dying ammonite and also sure had to do our homework on what the soft parts of the body would look like when extracted from the shell. #mosasaurs

Our mosasaur engages in what looks like ‘surplus killing’, a behaviour most associated with predatory mammals (like foxes) but also documented in insects (including antlions and predatory midge larvae) and suspected to be more widespread. #mosasaurs #marinereptiles
The whole idea of #mosasaurs killing #ammonites, perhaps disabling them via a bite to the biggest part of the shell, is a familiar one thanks to specific fossils that seemingly show mosasaur tooth marks.
Prehistoric Planet Globidens with tongue protruding. The tongue is like that of slow worms and gila monsters, not the mega-long sort of monitors.
Our Globidens otherwise has a forked tongue of the sort probably ubiquitous in #mosasaurs and is a streamlined ‘whale-o-saur’ whose look is inspired by current thinking on mosasaur overall shape as revealed by soft tissues.
As with our other #mosasaurs, we showed extensive gingival tissues (gums) mostly concealing the teeth, something inferred from living anguimorph lizards and seemingly present in a fossil mosasaur with soft tissues preserved.
