Palaeophis Magrebianus (Sea Snake)

Palaeophis is an extinct genus of marine snakes in the Palaeophiidae family, living from the Late Cretaceous (70.6 million years ago) to the Eocene epoch (33.9 million years ago). Fossils of Palaeophis species provide crucial insights into the evolution of fully aquatic snakes, the diversity of prehistoric marine reptiles, and the adaptations of ancient snakes to ocean habitats. These prehistoric snakes are key to understanding Cretaceous and Paleogene marine ecosystems.
