When we took the display glass off Tylosaurus 2 weeks ago, we also photographed the drop-dead gorgeous that accompanies it, in addition to studying the Stunning to behold up close...

Second, the dentaries (tooth-bearing bones of the lower jaw) are relatively short compared to other mosasaurs (i.e., Tylosaurus), much like in today’s shell-crushing lizards, incl. the caiman lizard (Dracaena) & Nile monitor (Varanus)!

Isn't it crazy that despite Mosasaurus being the most famous mosasaur, Tylosaurus has gotten wayyy more exposure over the years.

Ta-da, please say hi to Evan, the Tylosaurus, an excellent hunter in the sea. The online sale of this model will be available from PNSO Amazon (US) and PNSO AliExpress soon.

Hittin' the hot (brine) springs: Styxosaurus excitedly rambles on about his workday with coworker Tylosaurus as an elderly Archelon listens in.

Tylosaurus just wants to relax.

Another CSP test: I wanted to try something 'softer' and I guess it turned out okay.

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."

Just a couple of seaway buddies - Tylosaurus and Dolichorhynchops!

Made this weeks ago after my first visit to the Sternberg Museum (but couldn't post due to lack of Internet service) as a quick CSP brush test; I usually color in GIMP but I figured I should actually learn CSP.

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
