Compressidens was a small mosasaur, a marine lizard that lived in the sea during the time of the dinosaurs. It had special flat teeth for crushing hard-shelled animals like clams and sea urchins.1 2

Compressidens is now called Carinodens, because the name Compressidens was already used for a different animal, a type of mollusk.1

It was one of the smallest mosasaurs, only about 2 to 2.6 metres (6.6 to 8.5 feet) long.1

Its teeth were flat and compressed from side to side, which is why it was named Compressidens, meaning 'compressed teeth'.1

Only the back five teeth were used for crushing food; the front teeth were small and pointed for grabbing prey.1

Fossils of Compressidens have been found in Europe, North America, South America, and North Africa.1

Scientists think it may have lived in deep water most of the time, only rarely coming into shallow seas.1
