@Swamp_Jaws Congrats on 10K~! You deserve it <3 My favorite dinosaur would have been the Mosasaurus, but google says it's just a marine reptile, so I'm going with the classic Tyrannosaurus <3
Inspired by @EDGEinthewild 's video about the Hell Creek Mosasaurus.
Imagine... you're an apex sea predator. Most awesome in all the oceans. Only to wash up in a beach about to eaten by Megastork.

The name "Tylosaurus" itself references the rostrum, meaning "knob-lizard," as does the name of the type species (the first one named), T. proriger: "proriger" = "prow-bearing."

"Can i join your clubhouse now since they found mosasaur fossil in hell creek?"
Hi everybody, Neil is BACK! My account got wrongly suspended recently, and I was so afraid that I cannot continue to share more works and learn from you guys any more. 😭
Let’s dive with #mosasaurus that we could never experience in the real life.

Yesterday a new paper came out that describes a new species of Ectenosaurus mosasaur! I'll be spending my afternoon updating the taxonomy in our database as well as the storage location of the holotype FHSM VP-5515.

Despite citing Peters, Hall’s mental image of mosasaurs is pure Henry Neville Hutchinson-era.
For #FossilFriday I’d like to spotlight paleoartist @ChrisDPiazza and his amazing artwork. The first being a #Guanlong pack being attacked by a #Sinraptor, and his artwork depicting a #mosasaur that was recently discovered in the Hell Creek Formation.
The reason I think Tylosaurus is seriously far more EPIC than any other mosasaur can be summed up with a ton of older art that features it as the all-encompassing leviathan of the Western Interior Seaway and now we find that even big mosasaurs could vibe upriver! Missing paleoart
It's #WorldLizardDay!!!
Obviously, my favorite lizards are mosasaurs. I'm particularly fond of Plotosaurus, having the opportunity to work with its fossils here on the West Coast. It's quite the fishy boi possessing highly aquatic morphology compared to other mosasaurs.
