This Mosasaur of the Genus Halisaurus was found in the Phosphate mines of Morocco 15 years ago and stayed in its stabilising field jacket until now. It measures 2.3 meters and is prepared from one side to expose the bones in their original position. No reconstruction has been performed on this piece, all bones are in the original position. Halisaurus was a genus of small mosasaurs, marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 85 to 66 million years ago. Reaching about 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet) in length, it was an agile swimmer with a streamlined body, flipper-like limbs, and sharp teeth suited for a carnivorous diet of fish and smaller marine creatures. Fossils of Halisaurus have been found in North America, Europe, and Africa. It went extinct around 66 million years ago during the mass extinction that also wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs. This large and heavy piece will be shipped securely on a palette via FedEx or can be collected in person in the Netherlands. In this case, shipping costs will be reimbursed.
