1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

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
