Additionally, with an average length of 5 metres during the Mesozoic period (251–65 million years ago), mosasaurs were among the largest sea reptiles. They pursued large prey, including creatures that were comparable.
The fossil was discovered in the Lysogorsk region, according to associate professor at Saratov Technical University Maxim Arkhangelsky, while the prior mosasaur fossils were discovered in the United States, North Africa, and New Zealand.
The key to understanding the geography of its proliferation on Earth will therefore be found in Russia. Additionally, it will enable the assumption of the marine species’ Mesozoic-era migration routes.
Experts were able to estimate the age of this animal, estimating that it was at least 11 years old and 6 metres long because to the peculiar shape of its spine and the amount of protrusions on it.
A fossil of an extinct animal called a “mosasaur” was discovered in Russia.
