The Mighty Mosasaurus: Lizard of the Meuse
A detailed overview of the extinct marine reptile, the Mosasaurus. It outlines the species’ classification history, noting that early scientists initially mistook it for a giant crocodile or whale before recognizing it as a massive marine lizard.
The passage highlights its key characteristics, including enormous size, a powerful bite, and its role as an apex predator. Evidence suggests that Mosasaurus was a surface swimmer with a possibly shark-like tail, demonstrating an example of convergent evolution.
The text also explains that Mosasaurus fossils played a critical role in establishing the concept of extinction. It describes the species as a secondarily aquatic reptile that returned to the ocean during the Late Cretaceous period and went extinct during the mass extinction event 66 million years ago.
