Summary
[edit]DescriptionNational Fossil Day 2011 artwork.png |
English: The 2011 National Fossil Day artwork features a mosasaur, a large marine reptile, preying upon an ammonite, a relative of the modern chambered nautilus. Though mosasaurs lived during the same time period as dinosaurs, they were not dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were land-dwelling; mosasaurs were aquatic. A fearsome predator of warm Cretaceous seas, the mosasaur would have dined regularly on these cephalopods, as indicated by numerous fossil ammonites found with mosasaur bite marks. Mosasaurs ate more than just ammonites. Fossil mosasaurs have been found with sea birds, fish, and even smaller mosasaurs in their guts. Mosasaur fossils have been found in rocks of Cretaceous age in many states across the country and around the world. |
