Tethysaurus nopcsai – Rare Marine Reptile
Tethysaurus nopcsai – Rare Marine Reptile
Late Cretaceous, Turonian Stage (~92 million years ago) | Goulmima, Morocco
This remarkable Tethysaurus nopcsai fossil comes from the Late Cretaceous seas of Goulmima, Morocco, an area once covered by the ancient Tethys Ocean. Dating to the Turonian stage, about 92 million years ago, it represents an important transitional genus between early aquatic lizards and the later, larger mosasaurs that would dominate prehistoric waters.
With its streamlined body, elongated skull, and distinctive cranial structure, Tethysaurus reveals the elegant design and powerful adaptations of a predator perfectly suited to life in the open sea — a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of marine reptiles.
