Description
Prehistoric Terror of the Sea: Tylosaurus pembinensis
Distinguished by its long, knob-like snout (Tylosaurus means "knob lizard"), this killing machine was equipped with two sets of teeth - one set in its jaw and one on its palate - and a "double-jointed" jaw that gave it an extra-large bite.It would propel its 13-metre (43-foot) body through the water with the undulations of its crescent-shaped tail and four flippers. Its massive head and teeth allowed it to devour anything in its path: sharks, fish, other mosasaurs, sea birds, and maybe the squid-like ammonites. The first specimens of Tylosaurus were discovered by American palaeontologists Edward D. Cope and Othniel C. Marsh in the 1860s and 1870s in Kansas. A century later, palaeontologists in Manitoba unearthed the fossil of a colossal Tylosaurus-like animal that had died 80 million years ago.
