@theveryextraordinary: The Mosasaurus was an enormous aquatic lizard of the late Cretaceous. It is named for the Meuse river where the first fossil specimen was discovered. The largest species of the Mosasaur species could grow to over 50 feet long, with a streamlined skull bristling with teeth, a barrel like trunk for its midsection, and a long, powerful tail. Mosasaurus was a carnivore. It lived in the Cretaceous period and inhabited Europe and North America . #oldearth #prehistoric #horror #mosasaurus #marinelife #scary #extinct #dinosaur #ocean #prehistoricanimals
