Mosasaur tooth
Diverse Predators of the Cretaceous Seas
Mosasaurids were aquatic squamate reptiles that 
became widely distributed in the world’s oceans during 
the Late Cretaceous. They belonged to Squamata, the 
same major group that includes modern lizards and 
snakes. Mosasaurids ranged from relatively small forms 
to giant marine predators. They evolved a wide variety of 
tooth shapes adapted for grasping, cutting, or crushing 
prey, reflecting their diverse diets and ecological roles in 
Late Cretaceous marine ecosystems.
