These creatures were apex predators and are considered to be among the largest mosasaurs ever discovered. While Tylosaurus fossils have been found in various parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Australia, there is no evidence to suggest that Tylosaurus specifically inhabited Morocco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1250\/0441\/files\/mosasaurprognathodon_edited_5dc8441c-290b-477d-9b43-cdfd846bc259_480x480.jpg?v=1688426522\" alt=\"\" width=\"778\" height=\"389\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WRQ-RSNImIM\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #bf9000;\"\u003ePlease be aware of the nature of fossils:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing buried underground for millions of years under intense pressure can be harsh. No fossil emerges from the ground completely intact and pristine. Most fossils require some restoration, and some are even modified by humans to improve their appearance. In Morocco, workers professionally unearth and preserve these natural treasures, though natural cracks often remain visible on the surface. These cracks are part of the fossil's natural beauty and are not seen as flaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr id=\"horizontalrule\"\u003e","brand":"SAID 25","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52329124725016,"sku":"06JVV433","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1250\/0441\/files\/5U8A5215_be91b9ca-17d2-46c9-855b-733883971041.jpg?v=1782249377","url":"https:\/\/www.fossilageminerals.com\/products\/1-9-tylosaurus-mosasaur-fossil-tooth-in-matrix-upper-cretaceous-dinosaur-era-coa-06jvv433","provider":"Fossil Age Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
