Prognathodon was a mosasaur that lived in the oceans during the Cretaceous Period (about 100–66 million years ago). Unlike many of its relatives, it evolved an exceptionally strong skull and jaws designed to crush hard prey. Its powerful bite allowed it to feed on ammonites, turtles, and shelled marine animals, giving it access to a rich food source. Thick, durable teeth with cutting edges and fine serrations made Prognathodon efficient at handling both armored and soft prey. The presence of supportive eye bones suggests it may have hunted across a range of water depths.
Please be aware of the nature of fossils:
Being buried under tons of pressure for millions of years can be quite rough. Rarely is a fossil found completely intact and perfect. Most fossils require some restoration, and sometimes humans modify them to improve their appearance. The Moroccan workers are highly skilled in excavating and preserving these natural treasures, but natural cracks often appear on the surface. These cracks are part of the fossil's natural beauty and are not flaws.
