Palaeophis Magrebianus (Sea Snake)
Palaeophis is an extinct genus of marine snakes and the type genus of the Palaeophiidae family. Species in this genus lived from the Late Cretaceous period to the Eocene epoch, approximately 70.6 to 33.9 million years ago. Fossils of Palaeophis provide important insights into the evolution of marine snakes and the diversity of prehistoric aquatic reptiles, highlighting their adaptation to fully aquatic life in ancient oceans.
