Description
This skull belonged to a "Halisaurus Arambourgii" Mosasaur. This particular species didn’t grow very big. Full grown adults may have reached up to 12 ft in length. Like all other Mosasaurs, this animal was a swift, agile swimmer employing its four paddles and stout tail to propel itself. This specimen was found in the phosphate mines of “Sidi-daoui, Morocco” it dates back to the Maestrichtian period, about 70-65 million years ago. This mosasaur skull is a spectacular specimen, has been professionally prepared and mounted on a custom iron sand. It features great detail and preservation with minimal restoration. This is a premium quality specimen, not to be compared with the many inexpensive fake skulls on market place. This would make a great addition to any fossil collection or museum display.
