Incredible species of T. rex discovered — a beast with skull-crushing jaws that lived underwater
A new species of mosasaur, named Tylosaurus Rex, has been discovered, which lived during the Cretaceous Period. This giant sea predator measured 43 feet long and had skull-crushing jaws, making it a formidable creature of its time. The findings challenge previous assumptions about mosasaur evolution and highlight the need for updated research methods.
- ▪Tylosaurus Rex was discovered from 80 million-year-old fossils found in Texas.
- ▪The species measured 43 feet long, making it larger than the biggest great white sharks.
- ▪The discovery suggests that previous classifications of mosasaurs may have been incorrect.
