Ebyewuunyisa

Tethysaurus was a medium-sized mosasaur, less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long.1

Its name comes from Tethys, the Greek goddess of the sea, and honors Hungarian paleontologist Baron Ferenc Nopcsa.1

Tethysaurus had a skull with a broad, rounded snout and two pairs of teeth in the premaxilla.2

It had 19 to 20 teeth in each upper jaw bone (maxilla) and at least 19 teeth in each lower jaw bone (dentary).2

Scientists think Tethysaurus was an early relative of later, bigger mosasaurs like Mosasaurus.1

Its fossils were found in limestone nodules that formed in a shallow, warm sea.2

Kikyakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo: Scientists are still debating exactly how Tethysaurus is related to other mosasaurs and whether it belongs in the family Mosasauridae or is a more primitive cousin.1
