With long, streamlined bodies and powerful jaws, they were among the dominant predators of the seas until the end of the Cretaceous about 66 million years ago. Morocco's phosphate deposits are one of the richest sources of mosasaur fossils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📷 Exact Specimen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly one specimen is available.
