Angolasaurus was one of the few Turonian mosasaurs found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, showing it could cross the sea.1
Its skull had 11 teeth in the upper jaw, 4 in the front, and 12 in the lower jaw.1
Scientists think Angolasaurus had a tail fluke, like a shark, for powerful swimming.1
Its body was covered in keeled scales that helped it move smoothly through water.1
Because the seas it lived in were cooling, Angolasaurus may have had dark patterns on its back to soak up heat from the sun.1
Angolasaurus shared its home in Angola with the giant mosasaur Tylosaurus and a turtle called Angolachelys.1
