The tooth is perfect, making it ideal for fossil hunters. Mosasaurs, extinct large marine reptiles, first appeared in the Cretaceous, likely evolving from aigialosaurs. During the last 20 million years of the Cretaceous, they became the apex predators of the seas, replacing the ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs.
