🌊 About Prognathodon

Prognathodon is a genus of mosasaur, a group of large marine reptiles of the Late Cretaceous seas. Mosasaurs were not dinosaurs; they were squamates, related to modern monitor lizards and snakes. Prognathodon is recognised by its robust jaws and stout, strongly built teeth, and its remains are well represented in the Late Cretaceous phosphate deposits of the Khouribga region, Morocco.
