Globidens was a marine lizard that lived in the warm, shallow seas of the Late Cretaceous. It had strange, round teeth like little balls, perfect for crushing the hard shells of its prey. Unlike many other sea reptiles, Globidens was a shell-crushing specialist!1

Inyani emnandi: esi sirhubuluzi saselwandle sasiqubha ngelixa iidayinaso zazihamba emhlabeni. Wonke umntu uzibiza ngokuba ziidayinaso, kodwa zazilisebe elahlukileyo lezirhubuluzi.

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Globidens had round, globe-shaped teeth that were different from the sharp teeth of most other mosasaurs.1

Scientists found stomach contents inside a Globidens fossil from South Dakota, showing it ate clams called inoceramids.1

Globidens lived about 84 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.3

The first Globidens fossil was a partial skull and a neck bone found in Alabama, USA, and named in 1912 by Charles W. Gilmore.1

Globidens had a strong, robust skull and a powerful bite to crush the shells of its prey.1

Fossils of Globidens have been found on four continents: North America, Africa, South America, and Asia (Middle East).1 3

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Globidens — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Globidens esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Globidens

?How big was Globidens?

Globidens was a medium-sized mosasaur, measuring about 5 to 6 metres (16 to 20 feet) long.1

?What did Globidens eat?

Globidens ate hard-shelled prey like turtles, ammonites, nautili, and bivalves. Stomach contents from a fossil found in South Dakota showed it ate clams called inoceramids.1 2

?Why did Globidens have round teeth?

Globidens had round, globe-shaped teeth that were perfect for crushing tough shells. Unlike most mosasaurs with sharp teeth for grabbing slippery prey, Globidens was a shell-crushing specialist.1

?Was Globidens a dinosaur?

No, Globidens was not a dinosaur. It was a marine lizard, a type of mosasaur that lived in the sea during the Late Cretaceous.1

?When did Globidens live?

Globidens lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 84 to 66 million years ago.1

?Where have Globidens fossils been found?

Globidens fossils have been found in Angola, Brazil, Colombia, Morocco, Syria, and the United States.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Globidens
Inikwe igama ngu:: Gilmore 19123
Iqela: Iimosasauri
Usapho / iclade: Mosasauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Mosasauroidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 90 ukuya ku-66 izigidi zeminyaka (Coniacian / Maastrichtian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Pierre Shale, Wolfe City/Sprinkle, Phosphates3
Amazwe: iUSA, iMorocco, iSyria, iJordan, iYiputa, i-Angola3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 32 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Globidens was first described in 1912 by Charles W. Gilmore, based on an incomplete skull and a neck bone from Alabama, USA. The name means 'globe tooth' because of its round teeth.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating exactly how many species of Globidens existed, as some fossils have been moved to other groups like Prognathodon.1
