This authentic Tethysaurus nopcsai fossil originates from the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous, approximately 88 million years ago. Discovered in Morocco, it represents an early marine reptile closely related to the first mosasaurs that inhabited the ancient Tethys Ocean.
The specimen reflects the streamlined anatomy and adaptations of a fast-moving marine predator. Preserved in natural condition, it offers a clear impression of reptilian structure during a key phase in the evolution of marine life.
