Despite coexisting for millions of years, Mosasaurs and dinosaurs are not related. Mosasaurs are in fact reptiles, and are closely related to modern day Monitor Lizards. While some species only grew to around 3 ft in length, the biggest could be over 50 ft! They swam using a shark-like tail fin, and had flipper-like limbs for manoeuvrability. Stomach contents of mosasaurs have revealed a varied diet, including fish, sea turtles, plesiosaurs and even sea birds. Although mosasaurs are aquatic, they still breathed air like all reptiles and had to regularly surface to take a breath.

This Mosasaur Jaw (90 Million Years Old) has been mounted on a bespoke steel stand.

Base & Mount: Stainless steel with stunning black lacquer coat for long-lasting protection.

Base Dimensions: 120mm x 120mm
