Mosasauridae

mosasaur
Gervais 1852

Les Mosasauridae sont une famille fossile de grands Squamates marins ayant vécu durant le Crétacé supérieur. Les premiers restes fossiles, appartenant au genre type Mosasaurus, ont été découverts en 1764 dans une carrière de Maastricht, aux Pays-Bas, près de la Meuse. Le nom de genre Mosasaurus signifie de ce fait « lézard de la Meuse ». Les Mosasauridés ont probablement évolué au début du Crétacé supérieur à partir d'un groupe de lézards semi-aquatiques connus sous le nom d'Aigialosauridae. Au début du Turonien, ils contribuent probablement à l'extinction des Ichtyosaures et des Pliosaures et deviennent les prédateurs marins dominants dans les mers du globe. Ils disparaissent entièrement lors de l'extinction Crétacé-Paléogène, il y a 66 millions d'années.
