Massive American Mosasaur Skull – Research Quality Cast
Mosasaurus tylosaurus prorigor

Niobrara Chalk Formation, Western Kansas

The massive specimen was fortuitously preserved in a dorsal/lateral compression, allowing viewing of the numerous large teeth of both the upper and lower jaws. Four cervical vertebrae were also discovered with the magnificent specimen. Measuring 64 x 29 x 3 in
