Palaeophis Magrebianus (Sea Snake)

Palaeophis – Extinct Marine Snake from Cretaceous to Eocene
Palaeophis is an extinct genus of marine snakes and the type genus of the Palaeophiidae family. These ancient snakes thrived in marine environments from the Late Cretaceous period to the Eocene epoch, approximately 70.6 to 33.9 million years ago. Fossils of Palaeophis provide key insights into the evolution of prehistoric snakes, highlighting their adaptation to aquatic life. Known for their elongated bodies and marine hunting adaptations, Palaeophis species are crucial for understanding Cretaceous and Paleogene marine ecosystems.
