Mosasaurus is an extinct sea reptile, belonging to the superfamily of Varanoidea. He lived in the upper Cretaceous (Santonian - Maastrichtian, 80 - 70 million years ago). Its fossil remains were found in much of the world (North America, Europe, Africa, New Zealand, Antarctica and possibly Japan). Mosasaurus gives its name to the family Mosasauridae.
